I noticed some of my plants growing roots through the bottom of their fabric pots. One in particular has almost a foot coiled up in the round tray underneath. I don’t check the trays often since I have very little runoff typically… I heard auto’s will start flowering early if the roots hit bottom too soon or something along those lines. Not sure if that’s true or not. Anyways, I bought some taller 5 gallon pots that are more bucket shaped. Deeper roots, bigger plants right? Or will the smaller diameter have the opposite effect?

You’re looking to maximize your root mass. With other plants you could trim the roots and they would spread out.
I don’t think you want to do that at all with autos. The less stress the better.
Plop that plant, pot and all, in the bigger pot and let the roots grow into it. I think it you try to transplant and cut those roots you’ll push flower

…and get some risers for those plants. You won’t have that problem when you raise those pots up. The roots will hit the bottom, and prune themselves when they hit the air just like the sides of the pot.
