This is my second grow now, first one I did indoors and had no issues. Now I’m growing outside and having a bit of issues. I am watering them more than I did for my inside grow but only because of how hot it is. I’ve been using advanced nutrients
Deficiency or over watering

looks rootbound and starting to show you that some roots are in trouble... 5 gal is a small container when you are outside and with plants that large.

I also propose that you are watering more not because it is hotter, but because these plants are so much bigger than what you had inside.

Maybe needs up-potting and maybe needs more nitrogen. Doesn't look super serious. Most plants have a few lower leaves turn yellow like that once they start getting big. Try a bit more nitrogen but it's likely not a serious problem.

Do those buckets have any holes drilled in the bottoms for drainage?

Yes they do
I do not have enough experience with growing cannabis plants to say this with certainty. I would feel comfortable transplanting those. I do have experience transplanting with other plants and trees though so I would like to offer a encouragement and how I would do it. I would say you can transplant those. They aren't too big yet. You might need some help, but you should be able to get them out.
Here's what I would do when transplanting a larger (heavy) fruit tree that would be in a similar sized container and sometimes larger. If you watered recently it will be that much heavier. Wait until it is barely moist enough to keep the root ball intact. So not quite dry but not soaking wet. Get your larger container where you plan on keeping it and prep it with soil and make your 5 gallon bucket indentation. Put the 5 gallon plant elevated on a table or platform very near to your new container. You will want to bang the sides and bottom of your bucket to loosen the root mass. Then very carefully get your hands and work them down the bucket walls trying your best to not damage any arterial roots that may have wrapped around the sides. When you are able to get to the bottom, you can put your hands underneath and lift the rootball out of the bucket and place it in your new container and pack it in as needed. It helps to have another set of hands to hold the bucket down. Hope that helps.
