Man i wouldnt do it. Transplant shock. Then u could end up overwatering becasue the 20 gal is not fully rooted and it wont dry out for like 2 weeks lol.

Not saying it would happen for sure but once you in flower I never transplant.

gotta agree with daggy, any benefit you may get from transplanting is dramatically outweighed by the risk of freaking her out. Just water more often shes fine in that pot.

Cut the bottom out and place it in a prepared spot. No stress on the plant and more room for the roots.

The only thing I've ever done to budding plants years ago when I was young and not good at planning things out yet grow wise is cut windows into the sides of the pot with a razor knife or set the flower pot into another flower pot half full of soil and let the roots grow through the drain holes .......but if your not having to water twice a day I wouldn't worry about even doing it at this point .....GL

No reason to move them now at that stage....Not like they are going to stretch and blow up as they are already mid flower it looks like

I would cut a few extra holes in the bucket, then sink it in some soil. No stress, and it will allow roots to grow if they need to, and better water retention.
