transplant or to risky??

hey guys.one of my plants is in its 5th week of flowering and its in a small pot for its height.is it to much of a risk to transplant now and could it stress it to revert back?the pot isnt 2 small but for the height of the plant it is defenantly to small.i can see a root coming out of the drainage hole.so any advice would be grately apprciated.cheers for the info in advance

Lacks a little info. What size is the pot, how tall/big is the plant, and forget about height/pot ratio If you can see roots everywhere trying to escape out of the drainage holes its rootbound. Plants double there size when flowering so it would suck to already be rootbound

EDIT: sorry i clearly missed the fact that you said it IS rootbound. Transplant it and be as careful as possible. It's a 50/50 man goodluck

Its all g00d, btw by 50/50 I mean like its an even risk not 50/50 chance of survival. You can leave it and chance not a whole lot more growth, or transplant it, and it will either respond or it wont.. So either way you have an even chance I'd say. GL. It'll be fine.

It will most likely survive the transplanting, the question is, will it stress enough to go hermie on you. Just get a bigger pot and keep as much of the soil that is in the original pot around the roots as much as possible. The main reason people have trouble transplanting is because they simply yank the plant out and drop it into the new pot/soil. Any gardener or plant shop will tell you to keep as much of the original rootball intact as you can. Transplanting should not be as big a problem as people make it out to be, if done carefully and correctly.

On my first indoor. 4 weeks into flower I got the fungus nats.Was told their eating my roots.So I transplanted.Done just fine.A plant doesn't grow anymore big roots just had very small roots.I sat one 7 gal smart pot on top another.Treated for gnats got by fine.People said I would have deformed buds.Didn't happen You should be fine giving more root room

If you transplant, be careful removing the root ball from your planter and then take a sharp knife and slip it into the root ball at the top about a half an inch deep and sweep it down through any roots that are tangled. This will help free up your roots and incur a bit of growth, which shouldn't be a problem in flower anyway. But be gentle, make sure your soils are the same or as close as possible in ph, moisture and texture.
