Pot size

Yes, you can re-pot. You said originally that they've doubled in size since the last time. You should be perfectly fine.

IMO, greater harm would come from not potting up.
I repoted last Monday, so should I repot now or wait a little longer?
 
Maybe a little off topic, but is it better or worse to go straight into a large pot right after seedling growth? Or does the potting up do something to stimulate growth or make it easier for water uptake?

I think auto need to go straight into their finising pots as they don' have enough time to recover, I read somewhere, too late for me now ha

The science behind AF's is your not suppose to transplant but in my experience you want to start your AF's in the pot you want to finish in so atleast 4gallon or more . Its very risky transplanting AF but its not impossible i actually have transplanted a AF 5 weeks into flowering and its doing a lot better now than before. So my advice to those planting AF's start them in pot you plan to finish in so there is no issues. They look good and healthy good luck with the rest of your grow.

About autos...what light you keep them at? 20 hrs? I been growing for a long time but never messed with autos. Never saw the need indoors. Outdoors..yes. And why do you Europeans like them so much?

Okay thank you, do you think i will be okay to transplant them into 10litres tomorrow, 1 week after I transplanted them into the 3litre pots?

Let them recover another 3-5 days before you try to transplant again would be my advise.

I use 18/6 till the end and three days before harvest i pitch black them for 3 days.
