You're half way there transplanting already and she does need a bigger home so I would.
The root ball will be fine and she will thank you in the end
Quick in and out the operation theatre and she'll be fine.

I would not be trimming more roots. She's a good plant so no need asking for fuck ups.

Because of the size and how far along it looks i would try to do as little disruption as possible. I would transplant into a larger pot leaving the roots intact.

So im debating on should i bud that big mother out but i dont know if taking my clones out of grow room and put outside will hurt them by not getting the 400 w light i only have 1 grow room and light and i think its time to bud her out.

Transplant the mother if it needs a bigger pot, tie her down and flower whenever. Roots still grow in flower.
Putting the clones outside a couple hours a day and increasing the time they are outside by 1 or 2 hours daily; as long as the plant looks healthy outdoors, it won't be a problem. If they start drooping or something, then the clones haven't hardened off yet to the increased sun exposure.
