Nothing like Transplanting

4 fucking weeks into flower and my plants get rootbound. All of a sudden leaves start to yellow from the bottom up. I knew what it was so I just had to bite the bullet and transplant them into bigger buckets. Hopefully they dont get to much shock damage. Any advice what nutrients would be wise for helping transplant shock? Or should I expect a week or two of stunted growth ?

Never had to do that before. I imagine the typical plant tonics for transplanting stress like superthrive, I use thrivealive(green). There is Organic B by AN, anything B1. And be sure to water heavy.
Switch to smart pots for final pots before 12/12, 5-7 gallon indoors. Never worry about getting rootbound again.

I would expect weeks. Use SuperThrive.

In the future. RootBound is all in your head. The leaves yellowing had nothing to do with it

I flower my babies in 6L square pots, they are fairly small containers. I stick clones in these pots and go 12/12 as soon as they show roots. I've never had a problem with roots and hopefully I never will. Hope all works out brother!!

If they are very rootbound there will be little to no shock. Also the yellow leaves are not from the small pot its wrong PH s/b 6.5 to avoid yellowing leaves in flowering which fucks your final weight.

I flower my plants in 3 gallon pots. The pots are so full of roots it takes a while to get run off when I water them. I've never seen this as a bad thing. I don't think root bound is your problem. You probably switched to a low N nutrient that didn't meet the needs of your plant..
