might want to wait for a seasoned vet to answer, but if it was me I wouldn't. Personally I was in the same situation but with 2, 3 gallons. I jsut waited till my next run and establish my rootsbefore flippin the lights. The way i figured is the plant is working more on flowering than anything else so the risk of adding stress might not be worth it. But then again I didnt ask anyone other wise so I could be wrong.

That's what I was kinda thinkin. I kno I messed up by not getting them into bigger pots right before flower, so my bad. Thanks for the help! If anyone has a different oppinion I would be open to any other options. This sight has been a savior!

it happened to me! I transplanted my girls in bigger pots but didn't gave them time to establish in their new home.. I switched directly to 12/12.
1 plant wasnt that strong and quick (or I cut too much roots while transplanting)
now the girl is much smaller than my others. she had to grow some new root system first
so this in mind, you stated that you are already in 12/12. so let them grow out and do it better next time! experience is key!

A general rule of thumb I use. 1 month of grow time/gallon of soil. 2.5 months flower 2 month veg= min of 5 gallons. 3 gallon pots really need a ten day or less veg. From clone.

if you were careful, and didn't muck with the roots you could trans them still.
it'd also give you a chance to add myco.
If you veged for 7 months in a 3 gallon, the roots are gonna look like wrapped twine.
I'd transplant them, but I got my method down to a science and the plants don't even slow down.
BUT one thing to know, usually the rootgrowth is reaaallly slow after about a month in flowering..
I would though.
No doubt.

if you are good, there is little to no stress at all.
but ya gotta be good.
A 7 month vege-plant in a 3 gal pot is gonna look shitty about halfway through the flowering
I would transplants dampen the soil were the small pot soil stays together make your bigger pot dig a hole sprinkle or cover in mykos and just lightly scratch the root zone to help open roots and put into bigger pot. Water it in and don't worry about feeding. Your 10 days inow so it's just starting to flower I would wait if you were deeper Into it but you still have at leat 2 months probably.
I would upgrade. More roots more fruits
