Rootbound plant question??

So I have a plant that's rootbound. it's a feminized seed and still in veg. I have everything ready to transplant it but I have an auto next to it that's just about to finish in a little over 2 weeks. I'm running on 18 and 6 cycle. My question is should I ride out with the one plant being rootbound and sticking to 18 and 6 till the auto is finished? Will that mess up the feminized plant turn it to hermaphrodite, if it's even possible at this point with such little time left on her or will she be fine? Another option I was thinking, I know less light is always best on flowering plants but I'm not sure about the auto. If I were to start scaling the time of light down and transplant the feminized plant to start flowering stage on it, will that mess up the auto in any way in it's finishing stage? It's just that the feminized plant is looking really sad because of the rootbound she's going through. I want to transplant her now but I don't want to mess up the auto that's about to finish. The only reason I'm in this predicament is because I was told they were both autos but halfway through the grow I realized they weren't.... Also I do have the option of setting up another tent and putting the auto by itself but I'm really trying to avoid that if possible. Saying thanks in advance because you guys are always the best. I've become such a better grower just from learning from you guys!

Repot her! Get more medium, a bigger pot and transplant that shit.
I am not necessarily convinced that is her problem, but if so, there’s your solution.

Id stop worrying about a silly Auto and do what you have to with the photo.

Yeah i have everything ready to transplant medium ect Michael Huntherz. That's definitely what's going on with her she's rootbound. I've seen it enough to know trust me LOL. I was hoping the transplant I gave her a few weeks ago would be enough time to finish the auto before the feminized filled up the pot but she grew faster then I expected. I think that's what I'm going to do just transplanter her and slowly pull the time down while the Auto is in there with her. I can't stand looking at a sad plant...

I hear you Luke but that Auto is Girl Scouts and they usually have a THC around 22% on average. I'm not trying to waste the potential that plant has to give so I do want to worry about it lol. I don't even know what the photo one is. I was told it was Blue Dream but obviously it's not it has thick leaves like an indica. so who knows what it could be but yeah you guys are right the photo should be top priority at the moment seeing how the auto is about the finish anyway.

I'mma transplant the photo tomorrow you guys are right, that's the best thing to do. The auto is on her way to finishing, she'll finish regardless of the time cycle. The photo will be going from a 7 gallon to a 20 smart pot should be plenty enough to finish her?

It better be!

I have never gone over 5 gallon pots and I have never come close to having rootbound plants, so I don’t know how you managed to get rootbound in a 7 gallon before flower. I have had some dense rootballs, but not binding. Is that a plastic or fabric pot? I cannot tell from your pics.

Fuck autoflowers... “gsc” my tender pink asshole. It might have some gsc genes in it but it is cookies no more.
22%? ... Also see my ass, show me a lab test. OP, don’t believe seed company claims, especially about autos. You will learn that autos are a waste down the road, you miht as well except it now. Finish that one and never run another, they are bullshit.

I just had a bout with some rootbound plants.
They were in 1 gallon plastic pots and while I was away the roots just took off.
Transplanted into 3 gallon smart pots and they'll stay there until I harvest.
It will stunt a little bit but that's not always a bad thing.
Pot her up. She'll rebound and produce like it never happened.
