Hello everyone!
I'm curious as to what some other people think of up-potting one of my autoflowers that's pretty deep into flowering.
I didn't expect her to get as big as she did and now I'm seeing signs of what I believe to be root problems due to the pot drying out. (Coco/perlite)
Here are some photos.

2 gallon fabric pot:

So yeah, these problems probably won't go away anytime soon and will only get worse as time goes.
I'm thinking about slicing out the bottom circle of the pot and just placing that pot in a 5 gallon fabric pot and give the roots some chance to spread out a bit and moisture can retain a bit more.
I'm pursuing this because I think a tradition up pot would be too much stress at this point. I've seen methods similar to this done before, but any advice on it would be appreciated!
Specifically, cutting techniques and tools to use for a clean cut and transfer. Thanks a bunch! Peace and love!
Edit: I know it's pretty leafy in there, plan on thinning it out here soon. Just been busy as heck.
