I have plants one week into flowering and they roots still have room in the container but i think they'll get root-bound in 3-4 weeks, shall i transplant them now? Can i use one big qube shaped container for like 4 or 5 plants?

the one reason I stopped doing that is because its impossible to treat one individual plant that way if there are problems....
some will say roots will fight each other but keep them fed good wont be an issue....
always better to transplant earlier than later -
I agree with green. You are talking about a raised bed. Should be around 16inches deep and as big as you can in area. The plant won't exactly "fight" for resources if they don't need to. But it may be way harder than a regular potComment

You generally want to avoid more than one plant per pot because the roots can start competing. But it's most important they get their own root space when they're young and in the vegetative stage. If they are already grown and all have root room in a big new pot, I'm not sure how bad it would actually in your particular situation. If you do that definitely report back! I can see how that would make watering easier if they're all together, but it would also make it so you can't move the plants separately from each other, which could be annoying if one starts getting bigger/taller than the others during the flowering stretch.
If you are early in the flowering stage and think you may need to transplant soon, I'd definitely do it now instead of later so you don't stress the plant when it's further along making buds. The earlier in the flowering stage, the more resistant the plant is to problems. Once it's 6ish weeks into the flowering stage it basically stops growing new leaves and can get really picky and easy to stress
