Transplanting before flower.

I’m thinking about translating from 10 gallon to 15 gallon. I’m worried that transparent will shock my plant. I’m in a fabric pot. The trouble is the roots have been growing through. Lower side and bottom. I’m worried once I removed the 10 gallon pot it’s gonna rip away from the plant and shock it. I know from pass grow she’ll start flowering two weeks. I’m just looking for advice whether I should just ride, it out in a 10 gallon or make the move to 15. Just deal with the shock. I may be overthinking this.

If your plant has high potential, you’re confident in your transplant skills, and you can do it ASAP — go for the 15-gallon. With care, she'll bounce back before flower truly kicks in. But if the risk feels high, the 10-gallon will probably carry her through — just don’t expect her to stretch out without some root restrictions being fully in place.
 
thats not an auto, its a photo by the looks of it, you can carefully transplant her into the larger pot, give her a week to spread out some new roots then flip her.
she will soon spread her roots into the new soil and use it for growth.:weed:
 
I completely agree with the previous replies. Even when your careful as possible there is still a little transplant shock. The 10 gallons should be adequate, 15 gallons is better, but it seems like you are completely aware of the trade off of repotting vs the benefits of a larger grow space. I would say you are safe if you still have two weeks until she will start flowering. But in my experience you can get the same results by adding a little flowering nutes to your 10 gallon. If you think your soil is really good and extra nutes might be too much, then your 10 gallons is probably plenty of room. I wouldn't worry about any roots growing through, they will do that eventually no matter what size container they are in. But no worries, it looks and sounds like you will have a healthy crop. Keep up the good work.
