Is transplanting more than once bad?

my plants are a little over a month now, and have already been transplanted once (from plastic cups i used to sprout them to 10'' planting pots)

the reason i ask is because when i look at the hole on the bottom of my pots, i can see roots peeking through. i'm thinking maybe if i switch to a 5 gallon bucket that i'd have a lot more room for root and overall growth. BUT, i have already started flowering and don't want to stunt any growth or harm my plants....what do you guys think?

yea man i usually transplant about 3 times from a small can or something to a medium container(usually a cut 2 liter) then into a 2-3 gallon pot depending, itll be fine unless during transplanting you do some crazy shit like blood orgy

so would you recommend going ahead and transplanting to a bucket or something? the 10'' pots i have are 9'' deep. In one of these pots, i have a plant that is ~19". is this plant getting way too big for this pot?

im assuming youre still in veg, yeah if I were you I would do one last transplant to a 5gal bucket, cause if they are 19 inches now they are going to be huge when you flower em.

i've actually already switched them to flowering... a little over a week ago i believe. would this be bad to transplant in the middle of flowering?

word, i went ahead and got some 5 gallon buckets from our maintenance guys and went for it. i'm glad i did, the roots were all grown out as far as they could possibly go.

could this be the reason why growth has slowed down a lot on one of my plants?
