Be careful, pulling the rootball l out of a smart pot cleanly without damaging can be difficult. After my first year growing, I learned to only use smart pots as the final pot. Plastic slides off nice and easy. She does look ready enough for transplant to me. I usually gauge it by how far outside the edge of the pot the branches have grown. Good luck

Ready as can be, I'd say. But do be careful. The roots will grow into the fibers and fabric of the cloths bags. I would almost contemplate sacrificing the bag, that's a nice looking plant, wouldn't want anything going wrong with her. I'm not very talented with larger pot transplants... ask me how I know LOL

Definitely. For my current grow I went straight from 1.5 gal to 10 gal, 45 days ago, and my plants have been doing incredibly well.

Another move I’ve seen on here is just putting your plant, smart pot and all, right into your 10 gallon pot. The roots will grow through the bag

Can confirm, I'm growing in 10 gallon fabric pots and when they got big enough I put them straight into the ground and they grew into the surrounding soil
