Alright as much as I hate to admit it (well honestly i dont have a problem doing so) i am a newb to growing. My plant is on day 12 of flowering and all through its life including now the plant has looked really good, strong, and healthy, and I was hoping i wouldnt have to ask too many questions as I have been doing a lot of reading. So.. I have a few questions..
The plant now measures almost 14" tall, has about 14 nodes, stems are long and have growth everywhere. I am an indoor cfl grower. Buds are popping up everywhere as well starting to flower. the plants a nice dark green (not dark dark green) and I have it in a 2-3 gallon pot. I do not overwater nor do I underwater. Typically water every 3-5 days with just a little over a quart. during the veg stage I used only some Dynamite 18-6-8 plant food (like balls i threw onto the soil) every other watering or so, Now as i am almost 2 weeks into flowering I still use some of the Dynamite as well as adding some Schultz 10-15-10 plant food (added to the water) So theres kinda a recap on my grow but if you have anyother questions please ask.. So here are my q's...
1. I noticed today that my plants roots have reached the bottom of the pot (see the roots through the water/breather holes) I would guess the pot holds 2-3 gallons but it measures about 8"w (at the top) x 6" tall. Should I transplant? Im a newb grower so im not going to be the greatest transplanter.
2. I said I would never trim or cut any leaves, because I understand the importance of all leaves. Yet i just did. I cut off the lower 10 leaves or so (maybe about 1" worth from the very bottom of the cola (yes 10 leaves/stems for 1" of my plant, like I said it has LOTS of growth) . I noticed one leaf was dead completely just 1. and it was like the very first leaf the plant had. But I cut off a few more surrounding the leaf because they were kinda just in the way and a little droopy, they got in the way and made it hard to water. (No bud growth down there). So did I hurt the plant!? keep in mind I still have tons of leaves probably over 50 that will recieve light, I thought missing a couple probably wouldnt hurt much.
I appreciate any advice. Im gonna stop here dont wanna make this first post too long. thanks RIU

) I just want to pull this one grow off. I dont want to kill the plant or give it away like I said. So with that said my closet space is tight and getting a taller pot will be tricky.. But I will look into at least a pot thats even just a little bigger then the one I have now.
