Too late to transplant?

so I flipped to 12/12 last Tuesday and haven’t been seeing too much of a stretch so far which I understand varies by strain. I also read an article about transplanting when the roots are reaching the outsides of the pot. When I dug up the top little bit of soil around the outside of the pot I came across roots going basically to the edge (not everywhere but all the way to the sides I’m finding some) I’m growing mandarin sunset in a 5 gallon smart pot currently, she sat in veg for 59 days after clone transplant. The net is set 14” higher than the soil line and the tent is 30x30x60 and she almost fills it up width wise. I was wondering if I could still transplant up to a 7 gallon pot or if this would stress her out too much since I already flipped. Is this even necessary or am I getting ahead of myself. First pic was the day I flipped second is tonight, definitely growing but not like I expected (first time grower)

Your setup looks good, I wouldn’t bother messing with the pot at this point. What lighting are you using?

I used a mars hydro reflector 96 (“replaces 480watt” actual 205) throughout veg and then added an additional “300 watt” led when I flipped last week. I got a nice deal on an entire setup from a client at work
