To transplant or not to transplant? & More roots= more uptake= more yeild?

Got some ladies in 3 gals. First time using fabric pots and the roots made a huge jump I wasn’t expecting. I’m seeing thin 1- 2” long roots out the bottom and I was planning to flip them into flower now. Would it make a noticeable difference in yield if I transplant them into 5 gals? Or would keeping them in 3 gal but water more frequently give same results?

Q #2
I have a couple plants that are in 6x6x6 plastic pots that almost as big as the ones in 3 gals. I’m guessing without any bending over/top/fimming, they’d max out their space vertically before their roots max out the pot? Would this result in lower yield because more roots=more nutrient uptake? I do plan on bending them over though, should I let them veg a little longer for their roots to catch up for optimum yield? Im going organic, and doing side by side test with 1000w HPS and black dog LED if that helps.
