I am ready to transplant from cups. Last few grows have been transpl..anted to 2 gal. then to 5 gal. The question is can I go to the 5 gal. bucket and skip the 2 gal so as not to cause stress. The other question can i mainline a plant i just put into flower 4 days ago at the top 1/3 of the plant. Thanks for the help or comments.
 
No reason you can't transplant them into their final home. Less stress = more better.
As for your second question... From what I've read you shouldn't once they are in flower. You can do some LST but you don't want to start topping a plant in flower.
 
Running big pots isn't an issue AS LONG AS you have good watering practices.
Big pots are tough to get uniform dry back, that's one of the reasons to step up pot sizes.
Doing stepped up-sizing also allows the exterior root growth of the smaller pot to develop in the fresh media rather than relying on a tap root to fill a big tub.
On the 2nd question-on my last pheno hunt of some Primal Punch, I had to super-crop a large girl to maintain canopy height as it stretched during the 1st week of flower.
That girl popped a few nanners because of the stress.
I'm currently running the same pheno in my main grow(it's that remarkable) and at 30 days in flower, they are stunning.
So, I'd be hesitant to do any serious manipulation especially when the plants are charged with flowering hormones during stretch.
 
Thank you fellow growers Yea I just had a bout with damn nanners thanksgiving. got rid of three plants I may have stressed them during defoilation.
