Yes.. Be easy with the roots and you may need help from another person.. I would give superthrive immediately after if you have it.. To help with stunted growth. But it should do fine with a watering right after

I assume your girl is outside, right? I would do it making sure there is plenty of the same exact soil in the new location. 4 feet is still ok for a 10 gallons container but outdoor it will outgrow the bucket as you say and then might be too late for a transplant. Remember to free the roots by scratching a little bit the surface of the wall. Any transplant is a shock for the plant and tend to stress it but you say it is very healthy so I would not worry, you seem to be doing a good job. Right after, I would not use anything but water since you do not want to introduce a new element that might stress the plant even more.

you should be fine, id transplant asap, once roots get bound up even a little bit, once transplanted will take about a week or so to get un root bound. Superthrive would be a good choice i use that stuff every watering, id also use some roots excelerator if i were you, bulk them roots up as much as you can b4 they start flowering..!

dig a hole about two to 3 foot wide fill the bottom about a foot with organic soil them make sure your have two extra bags of soil on the side first off fully water your plants 4 foot i would say two to three gallon of water i use 2 gallons of water for my 2 footer. Then after about 20 min tap the pot on the ground slowly turn the pot 90* and slowly move the pot into the hole while leaving the plant on the side of the hole its ok to sit the plant on its side while you move out your pot out of the hole. then just slwoly lift up your plant into the hole fill it with the 2 bags of organic soil step on it to make it firm ! Please make sure to water it tomorow morning with 5 gallon of water please please please add one full table spoon of superthrive to help it make it threw the stress.
