i'd take enough of her roots so she fit in a 5 gal bucket then bring her in, your not trying to transplant her

i'll give you my opinion others will disagree haha i've harvested and hung it and i've left the plants in 3 days of darkness and then harvested and hung and to tell you the truth i could not tell a bit of difference so i would just leave her where she is.... but your call

This is only an assumption but I think you would have to be sure to get most of the rootball and then literally repot it into something and give it a good watering and then let it drain and then bring it inside .. if you want to do the 72-hours of darkness thing.
　
If you do not do a good enough job repotting the plant will more or less die a fast traumatic death by being ripped from the ground and stuck into some environment it could not live in so it dies fast.
　
The whole idea of the 72-hours of darkness and then harvest is so healthy functioning plants can have 72-hours of darkness to produce THC at a rate and level that will be maximized …… but buds will not get that special attention when the rest of the plant is dying because its root system has been destroyed and it cannot begin to survive the new conditions and continue all functions as normal.
But I could be wrong.
