how much longer until flower? if more than 2 weeks then do it, imo.
i have to say “Yes”. (both probably). i’ve had a hell of a time doing a smooth transplant with fabric pots. there are other brands that incorporate velcro side seams but i ended up scissoring off my last 2gal fabric pot. gonna try and repair it with heavy snap-fasteners(like for clothing).
(i can’t see if those pots have zippers or whatever )
