Transplant the thing. Those 18-gallon rope handle tubs from Wally work great but drill drainage holes for sure!

My rule of thumb is a gallon a month, so figure how long you have been growing it and how much more it needs to finish flowering. I would stick with a 10 gal max.

Pics would help alot, you might need to rethink your container or maybe its not as bad as you think...... Good luck

Have a pick? Just because you see a root out the bottom does not necessarily mean rootboound....
