i transplanted to a 2 gallon or so container right before flower and havent changed yet. i guess it depends on the strain and how much root growth you have but id say even if you safely transplanted into the 5 gal. it would be good on its own. i suppose putting it on top could be easier to do but then you have to factor the added height of the plant.
personally i'd say just transplant it carefully and you will be fine. if you are afraid of stressing it i wouldnt be worried as you are still in the early stages of flower and if anything it might just stunt the over all growth spurt.
