 Quick question regarding plant/pot size.

My girl(hopefully) is currently in a 6" circular pot. She is about 7" tall from her base to the top of her dome(this is not including the 1/2" or so of potting soil I recently added). Container included, she is about 13" total. I have about 18" more to play with.
The "Quick" Question:
I have a 2 gallon "perfect pot"(8.5โ x 8.5โ x 7.5โ) that I was originally going to re-home her in right before I go 12/12, but since I only want her growing 18 more inches(max), do I leave her in the 6" pot or is it safe to give her roots the extra room to migrate? Your opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Oh and before you guys even start to mob me with questions, let me give you the low down on the items that are currently stimulating her growth. IDK. Maybe it will affect how you answer my container question. Lol. And yes, I am open to pruning if need be and I don't have a special due date so time is not an issue. Just want it to be a GIRL and want her to be a nice looking one, with DD's.  Her buds of course. 
Anyway...
Lighting: 6- 26w 6,500k CFL's (approx. 1,600 lumens EA.)
1- LOA 65w 6,500k CFL wall light *customized*(4,500+ Lumens)
Total Light Output: WATTS: 221
LUMENS: 14,100
KELVIN: 6,500
CRI: 81(approx.)
* NOTE * all bulbs will be switched to 2,700k for flowering.
Medium: Soil (Fox Farms "Happy Frog")
Nutrients: Botanicare| Pure Blend Pro Grow & SUPERTHRIVE
This is my 1st indoor operation. And the last time I even owned a plant of any type was about 8 years ago. Grew my first MJ crop when I was 13 and did that until I got out of high-school. All outdoor.
Thanks to everyone here at the Growery for all the insight and knowledge that I have soaked up in the past 2 months. Oh and you can thank spacedmonkey for resurrecting my green thumb. He is a good friend and has been a great help.
I will try to upload more pix of the actual setup soon. For now, here is a pic of my baby 24hrs ago...

Transplant before the 12-12 switch first off. Never transplant after flowering starts, just a rule of thumb! To much stress from the lighting difference and the transplant could cause u problems.
As far as keeping it to that requirement, i think the six inch pots your using(pretty sure i know what your using) should be good to finish them in. However, the bigger pot will allow for more root growth, but after the flowering cycle starts, you will not need root room, since most of the plants energy will go to flower production.
So to sum this all up, transplant now or forever hold your peace  But seriously if you are going to transplant it, do it now. To much stress in flowering cycle can stress your potential girl into becoming hermie's
Thank's for the kudo's too. Glad i can help!
Just remember me at harvest time! 
By the way, the last set of pictures i sent you were grown in the same pots. They got a total of 16" tall(soil to tippy top). Them were also the autoflowering strain we were using out here a year ago.
Just remember me at harvest time!
pots look familiar?
