Zone 5 containers, to early to start?

Never grown anything in containers before, but this year we have a new little Grandio green house just begging to be used. ( you can put them up with one person, if you are stubborn enough) We had just planed on starting seeds inside then moving flats to the greenhouse a couple of weeks before planting in the garden and beds. But now would like to have a few tomatoes and peppers in pots, for early, and post frost production. We do have heat and electricity. If I start now under lights inside, will plants get to big before it's safe to move to greenhouse, in about 6 to 8 weeks. and that might be pushing it a little. Iowa zone 5 we could still have some pretty cold days. Also plastic pots or grow bags. Already have plastic pots, but worry about roots growing out the bottom. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
