Auto flower advice for first timer

I'm hoping for some advice on whether or not I should transplant a 5 week White Widow auto.
It's currently in a 2 gallon pot and about 3 ' tall. It has not yet flowered and I think it is likely root bound and might benefit from a little more room. The lifespan I think is 8-12 weeks.
I am growing several non autos and have transplanted them twice already. I just pour soil in the next pot while holding the current pot in place, water the new soil to firm, and slide the plant out and into the pre-formed soil.
I'll try and upload a couple of photos. It did have what appeared to be a nitrogen deficiency beginning so I gave it a little boost.
It's in Strawberry Fields potting soil and seems pretty healthy overall.
Any advice would be appreciated.

post some pictures. bunch of people on here will be able to tell you what's wrong and give you some advice.

5 weeks and 3 feet tall sounds like it's healthy though.

Some would say keep it there if you want to flower soon (some say autos only flower once rootbound). If you have more headroom in your grow area I'd say go for it, but expect it to get a bit taller still.

I grow my auto's in 7 gal containers, personal preference.

Thanks for the advice. It spent the first 3 weeks inside and now it's out in my patio getting direct sun.
I don't need it to flower soon, as long as it flowers. I know I can transplant it without shocking it, and probably will give it a try.
I haven't changed to blooming nutes yet, but maybe it's time.
I'd still like to figure out how to upload a photo but it just freezes loading.

That's awesome, I'd definitely say go for it then.
Photos would definitely help folks , but if all else fails maybe you could make a short (video) clip.

What (auto) strain are you running?

IMG_20180630_190246557.jpg IMG_20180627_184413595.jpg It's White Widow. I finally succeeded in uploading an image, it says 100% but then it never appears.
Maybe it's because I'm on Safari?

Finally. Here she is.

I found that you start your autos in a peat moss pot ,then when tap root starts too stick out bottom of pot then transplant into fabric pots but again autos should never be taking out of their pot you stated them i found this stuns them !

You're positive this is an auto? Because in that container and the plant that size I would think it would be halfway through flower already.

True North Seed Bank
White Widow x Big Bud feminized

It's also much larger than the Pure Kush and Green Crack that I planted a week earlier.

The auto you have is probably 11-12 weeks. I would say transplant because she'll be rootbound for sure if not already.
