Roots coming through the pot, HELP!!

Just because the tap-root is peeking out it doesn't mean that it's time to re-pot. The tap-root is always on the move, looking for new space, the roots coming off of it will still need time to spread out to reach virgin soil.
Let the plant tell you what it needs, they usually will droop a little as they start to feel the need for more space. Or, gently lift the plant out of the pot to take a look when you think it might be time. (do this when the pot is pretty dry)
I've had tap-roots coming out of 5-gallon pots within 2 days of a final transplant during flower, no issues.
