Too late to transplant?

My plants are just starting to flower- but they are still in their 2 qt starter pots. I haven't had the chance yet to move them into a 6 gallon (volume) bucket.

Roots currently are starting to grow out of the bottom of their pots. They were topped at the end of May; each lady is just under 3 ft/ 30cm high. They are growing in Promix and fed with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow and soon Bloom. They get about 6 hours of direct sunlight.

Plants are healthy thanks to long term Rollitup lurking.

Can I move them or is it too late?

Thanks- IP

I potted up my outdoor plant at week 1 of flower and had great success. It had been under the care of a friend of mine who donated it to me after my seeds went 5/5 male. He had her in cheap soil in a 6 gal fabric pot, I transferred it into a 20 gal fabric pot with 90% Promix HP 10% garden compost. I sliced the fabric pot off so as not to disturb the rootball and things worked out great. Zero transplant shock and I don’t have to water nearly as often.

How the hell did you get a 3 foot plant in that tiny pot? That like a couple solo cups worth of soil. Can you show a pic?

But yeah man transplant away, surprised it hasn't choked on it's own roots already.

I just put a WW clone in a 6 gallon planter yesterday and put it outside. She’s lovin it. Don’t expect much bud from her as I’m using her sister to make some fem WW pollen. Then gonna make me some fem WW seeds.

Thinkin I’m gonna pollinate my Colombian Gold with some fem WW pollen and call the seeds Colombian Widow!!

My bad- closer to two feet high (I forgot I had them on a riser when I measured...) I will post some pics later today.

Thanks for all the replies!

Consider cutting the bottom of the pots they are presently in or at least make some large holes that roots can easily grow from and sink them into larger pots if you are already in flower.

I did the transplant last Friday afternoon (same day I posted the pics above). Root balls were pretty tight- one plant in particular was more roots than soil. All were transplanted into #7 buckets (a little more than six gallons)- in grows past I used 7 gallon fabric pots but I got a delivery of new plastic pots. The ladies showed no transplant shock so I should be good to go.

I also have four male plants (three from seeds from the same bag) an will attempt to pollinate and make some new fresh seeds. One reason among several as to why my plants are a little puny is that the seeds I used were donated back in 2013.
