One problem solved, let's move onto another

After wondering if I had a problem with the leaves, a decided to forget it since it was isolated to the first fan leaves and the plant is doing real well otherwise. Maybe to well. To refresh, I'm growing auto jack in 3 gallon pot, exactly 2 weeks from sprout. My new problem is I can see roots out the drainage holes. They are REALLY fuzzy as well, but I read this was a good thing. I was surprised to see this being it's a 3 gal, 11 inch high pot and only 2 weeks old. There has been lots of new growth on the plant. I'm now at 7 blade leaves on 3rd node. Is the root thing a problem? I'd really prefer to not transplant as I heard this is bad for autos.I'll post pics soon.

I would transplant into 5 gallon pots within the next 1-2 weeks... Whoever told you that you should not transplant autos is incorrect.
 
I think it had something to do with stressing them due to transplant and the short time there is before flower. So I would soon be root bound would I be to leave her in this 3 gal pot?

Transplanting will not stress your plants, but letting them get root bound will. If you are already seeing roots out of the bottom of the pot then I would transplant to 5 gallon pots within 1-2 weeks... But the choice is yours.
 
Will do. I might just wait a bit, liek you said 1-2 weeks so the root system has time to build up a bit more. Hopefully it will be easier to pull her out and not break roots.
