I don't see why not, wouldn't recommend it late in budding. It would have done a lot more if you put it in the ground during veg

You may just be seeing preflowering...i would definately tranplant to at least 5 gallons. Whatever shock you go through you will easily get back in yield considering its only mid growing season. Check out all your local shops for mycorrhizae shit works amazing when transplanting. Also when you water in the transplant use a high phosphorous nute, it promotes root growth.

you might shock it a little, but it should impact your yeild signifigantly.

Please look at my transplanting tutorial on page 38 of my grow thread, linked below.

My system is trauma free and usually results in a major growth spurt.

Yes, to your original question.

Just transplanted a week 4 flower female that I didn't plan on being female/was lazy and hadn't transplanted. She is looking way better with a huge growth spurt 2 days after transplant.

In HMO veggiegardener is right, I transplant my plants at different times depending on root growth, which depends on the strain you are growing as to the root mass. I let my plants start to dry out just a little so that the dirt slides out from the container intact, spray the roots with super thrive and repot with fresh compost. The growth spurt is amazing in a couple of days after the transplant, but you really need to try several different methods to see which works best for you. Gardening is much like carpentry in that there are several ways to accomplish the same result and no way is the best just what you are comfortable with and watching the results from each attempt.

Just to be clear, my system was developed over fifty years of gardening, and was inspired by my Grandmother's methods. She started me gardening at age 3, when I was capable of pulling weeds as directed(don't pull the good plants, Veggie!!!). I started my first garden at age eight. Many methods work. The reason I wrote the tutorial about this method was because of its success over many decades.( I learned to clone house plants the same year.)
