I have about 50 plants that are about 4 feet tall in 5 gallon pots and are getting pretty root bound!.. they should start flowering in the next week or two.. will they still be able to grow bigger even tho they are root bound or should i transplant be4 they start flowering??

Rofl, plants have a growth spurt in the beginning of flowering. Soooo you will definitely need to transplant. and GL with transplanting 50 plants.

instead of transplanting, can i cut the bottoms out of the pots and let them grow into the ground?

depends on your native dirt mostly.
i just felt your pain.
when any number or large outdoor plants need upcanning, its a long day.
look into smart pots, less dirt can be used.

Yeah? because of the increased airflow? I had been looking at those but figured it was mostly a gimmic, cause 7 -15 bucks for one "bucket" is a little pricey, What would be a smart pot equivalent to a 5 gallon pot, cause I would really like to free up some space in my closet.
