Wrong. You have a lot to learn my friend.
Try listening to people instead of attacking them for opinions you either don't agree with or don't understand.
No Growth Since Transplant 4 days ago now...

sounds like you have the watering under control. I had to kill one of my feminized girls just last month due to balls showing, poor lil didn't get a chance. She was well into flowering with her sisters, nirvana feminized seeds.
Best of luck with the grow, looks bright as heck from the photos!

Massive load of bs going on here.
First off, while jumping from a 5 to a 20 is a bit of an over size leap. You should have no real issues if you simply water the outer edge. The roots will grow out to it.
Not to mention that it will take about 8 - 10 days for it to really start to take off again (The roots have start to grow into the new media) So the plant is spending some time spreading roots, and will get back to structure growth in some more days (at least so you notice).
Something nobody has taken to task here, is that the root ball from a fabric pot is "air pruned" root system. These roots are more like those that have come in contact with the surface. Those "air pruned" roots have almost no active growing root tips!
My scoring tactic would suit you well here, as the roots need active growing ends that will spread faster then yours, who are having to make new growth ends to spread!
I would note here: This is one of the reasons I have no use for fabric pots!
The whole term "root stress" is kinda overblown.
Does it happen? yes in some ways and in some ways not!
I up pot from solo's to 1 gal, to 3 gal, to 5 and/or 7's. As I do this, I trans at the roots coiling the bottoms. I use and old school greenhouse trick (I ran a large greenhouse complex in college and after).
This trick is to remove the root mass from the pot and to score the bottom of the root ball with a knife, in a cross pattern and then up-pot.
This gets those roots to grow out faster.. I get no sagging or wilting and in 10 days after the last up-potting, they get flipped and run out.
No "transplant stress" is a result.
As far as your plant becoming more likely to "Herm".... BS!
Yes, "stress' can be a factor in a plant herming but, not the way these guys think...
Light green color? Up your N.... and that won't make it "herm" either.
Herming is more a result of unstable and non high quality breeding practice..... Light "leaks" causing a plant to herm is more overblown bro science then truth also.
Bloom at less then 12/12 and see a more stable running plant in bloom also. Say 11.5/12.5 or 11/13....
Good luck and just be patient here. Give those roots time to spread....It's whats going on in the pot.

Depends on the size of your plant..
He will find out what he needs. Sometimes it's best to learn on your own.
Sometimes, after asking a question. Somebody drops in and actually answers the asked question, all the while adding extra information that makes the answer,,,much more understandable, or gives real world solutions to problems and why they happen...
