is he ready to be repot?

hi everyone! me and my mom seem to be at a disagreement on if charley is ready to be repot. he’s looking plump whenever we water him, and hes starting to sprout buds. me and my sister think he’s ready to move up, but my mom says her and her sources say to give him a bit more time. any insight would be appreciated.
4” pot without drainage

@ProfuseTomato the best way to tell is if you see roots in the drainage holes but it's in a pot with no drainage holes so there goes that idea. The next way to tell is when you water how quickly does the water come out of the drainage hole? Again, no drainage holes. So you're only option is to grab a hold of Charley and gently pull him out of the pot and see if there's more roots than soil. If so, it's definitely time to go up a size!

Hope this settles the disagreement! Good luck πŸ€
@ProfuseTomato I’m wondering if the buds you speak of are flower’s starting ? If so I’d let it go until done . I’m with @Lifeis2short on the rest .
@ProfuseTomato agreed with @ILoveMyPlants about holding off if they're flower buds. Can you add a picture of the buds?
