You will be fine just run something around sides of pot and try get it out in one. I've had plants not come out in one go and they still grow. If you using good soil up-potting is a good way to not over nite your plants. Good soil normally had enough nutes for few weeks

I like honesty. Share what you really think, we will address that for you.
I just transplanted from 3gal pots to 7gal. Thats big. If you water the day before the plant and medium will come out nicely.
To be confident about my transplant, i put on YouTube and watched a guy transplant a small tree size plant from a 30gal container to a 65gal. By himself. No problem. It was easy to do, but took a lot of energy. It was 6 feet tall and big around. If he can do that, i can go 3 to 7.
And so can you
Youtube will show you what you need to see to be confident.

Exactly!
No excuse when you watch dudes in flip flops bust out plants that are trees! Transplant is v easy...but strenuous and messy work.

I am only growing my second plant now so I understand your apprehension as I have gone through the same thoughts. I had my second plant in a smaller pot like you and ended up moving it to a 5 gallon fabric pot. It drooped a bit the next day and than exploded in growth. Do your research and understand the biggest hurtle you should face is your own apprehension. Here is a pic of the one I transplanted. I just moved my lights up as it is outgrowing my first plant and getting too close to light.

That’s looks massive how old is she so if I get a 32 litre pot is that too big I don’t want it to grow out of control as I only have a 1 metre by 1 metre 2 metre high tent

To eliminate the shock/droop, I like to wait until it's watering day, as compared to most who water one day prior. I find dry mounds damn near slide right out. I sprinkle a good dusting of myco on the soil that will be underneath and moisten it so that my plants sit right in it. Then once shes all filled in, I water her like the pot is going to eventually require. The only droop I get is the post watering droop and within 2 hours shes praying. I don't always water the whole pot, only that first time to coax root growth. After that I use my judgement so as not to leave it too wet every time I water. But I definitely trick her into thinking it's just a watering and not something crazy happening to her.

That pic is an Early Miss from Crop King Seeds. I germinated it in water March 16th so almost 9 weeks since I dropped the seed in water over night. The first plant I grew was a Northern Lights which I chopped 3 days ago. They were both auto's as I wanted to be able to have plants at different stages in same tent. I think a 32 litre pot would be overkill. I grew the Northern Lights in a 3 gallon/ 11 liter pot and the Early miss is in a 5 gallon/19 liter pot. The Early Miss is getting much bigger in the bigger pot but that could also be strain related. This is my first plant I chopped down a couple days ago in the 3 gallon fabric pot. It seems like a success to me but won't know for sure until I dry and cure it. I was just happy I managed to go from seed to harvest on my first try.

No I'd say 3-ish gallons. 5 gallons is like a paint bucket or a construction bucket. Not sure if they are trade gallons or what. But a 5 gallon pail will be about twice that soil and you can rock the shit out of that light. Go to the local Home Depot and buy a Homer bucket and you'll crush 448 grams. I'm sure of it.

What do you mean I can rock the shit out of the light ?

Judging by the pics it looks like your pot is 3 gallon / 11 liter. This is a link to the 5 gallon pots I ordered and they work well. Unlike plastic pots the fabric pots breath.
