You could. But you risk stressing her out. Autos hate being transplanted.
Given the fact your growing in a fabric grow bag- you should not have her sitting directly in/on her run off.
Do you move her and allow her to drain during waterings?
Try using something underneath that both catches her run off but keeps the bottom on the bag away from the water đ±

Put the pot on a stand with holes or a couple bits of wood or bricks etc - this will give you airflow under the pot and it wont just sit wet in runoff which is probably your issue with the fabric pot.

It's never late to transplant especially when you see issues, just go bigger pot too, always works. You can lay thin lair of clay Peebles on bottom.

Lightening Soil - Coco Coir or Perlite?I think my soil is a bit heavy and could have better drainage. Should I add more perlite or some coco coir for my next garden? My base is Biobizz Light-Mix. I'm thinking of supplementing it with 10%-15% of perlite or coco coir. Does this sound good or should I do something else?Week 10
