She looks healthy and vigorous. A 3-gallon pot is good to finish in. Generally, a 3-gallon pot will maintain a plant you plan to keep for 3 months or less.
Outside of growing a clone mother all my plants go in 3-gallon pots or smaller.

ya, bigger the pot the better, if the roots poke out the bottom. Most ppl over nute with root bound plants too.

If you have them outdoors, I wouldn't go smaller than ten gallons. More root space, bigger the yield. Indoors, at least five gallons

You should do a combination of FIM, Supercropping and LST to maximize your yield.....and use at least a 3 gallon. But bigger isn't always better. If you have a really large pot and space for roots, but your pot isn't drying out...then you'll probably get root rot, which will decrease your yields.

With whatever your pot size is, just make sure you master your watering and feed times/amounts to avoid root rot.

So determine how much time your plant will spend in the pot and determine your pot size from there.

three gallon fabric pot is what I would add. You're neighbors may be cool but can you say the same for all their friends? Use the search bar at the top right of the page and start reading, you want uncle bens topping thread. I'm too stoned to get it for you. Also you're going to want to let it veg longer after you top it.
