Should I transplant?

[Jerrodg]

I have 4 White Widow plants in 10" clay pots, growing under a 250w HPS. They are now 3 weeks into flowering, and I just noticed that some roots are starting to poke out of the bottom of the pot. Should I move them into a larger pot now? And if I do transplant them, will it delay the finishing of flowering? I am on a slight time crunch to get this crop finished, and don't really want to delay them. Of course if my yield will increase substantially then I don't mind waiting.

How do your leaves look?

Just because your roots are coming out does not mean you are root bound.

What is the over all health of the plant?

Can you post a picture?

Are they 3 gallon pots?

I can post pictures as soon as I find the cable to attach my digital camera. The overall health looks real good, nice color of green, occasionally I find a dying leaf inside all the foliage. I am tying the plants down, so they have a fairly thick look to them. Crystals are forming on my leaves, so everything seems to be as I would expect. Of course, this is my first grow so I don't know. I with I knew for sure the volume of the pots, all I know is they are the 10" clay pots you get at home depot, or any nursery.
