Should I repot these vegging mother plants?

Hello, I wish to transplant my two 35 day old mother plants from their 3 gallon pots into some 5 gallon pots. I believe the 3 gallon pots were not large enough for the massive, bushy strain I have growing in my garden. I fed both plants earlier (about 3 hours ago), so their soil is very moist. Will this cause an issue? What method should I use to transplant them? Should I tip them over and use my hands to support them, easing them into the 5 gallon pots? Or try something different like cutting the bottom out of the SmartPot's they are in and simply setting them on top of the 5 gallon pots filled with soil? Remember, these will both be mother plants hopefully lasting me until Christmas

Wow, that really is pretty bushy! You should probably wait a little while until it sucks up some of the water, then : 1) Pack some soil on the bottom of the pot you are transplanting INTO, 2) Place the pot with the pot (hehe) inside of the 5 gallon pot your transplanting INTO (without cutting anything), and place it right in the middle. 3) Fill all around it with soil, so it should LOOK like it's planted in the 5 gallon, but now 4) Pull up the plant (which will also pull out the 3 gallon pot), shimmy the pot off (if it has difficulty coming off, then CAREFULLY cut down it until you can pull it off) and plop it right in the hole - perfect fit! Any questions feel free to ask

5 gallons should last you awhile. Easy transplant: https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/345245-transplant-without-any-stress-soil.html

That's the method I was referring too, just couldnt find the thread. +rep for the good thread phyzix!

Wow, that sucker is bushy! 35 days old - "Proper Job!".

You might want to consider a little root pruning while you are at it and have everything exposed. It's a good way to restrict overall size, without the need for taking constant cuttings. Just a thought. It sounds drastic, but it works like a "Mo-fo".

It's the same technique used in the ancient Japanese art of "Bonsai" (growing miniature trees), but not so radical.
