Only trim roots if the plant is pushing itself out the bucket. Some people like to veg a long time in DWC....I wouldnt just for this reason.

If you had to...You could cut the roots...Plants will need about a week to recover though. Sometimes longer.

But it sounds like you just need a 5 gal. bucket. You shouldnt have to trim roots in a bigger bucket.

Well you made a mistake using a 4 gallon res as that barely big enough for 1 plant. You want to use at least 10 gallon for 2-3 15 gallon or 20 gallon for 4-6 plants and bigger for more then 6.Never trim roots its like slitting the plants wrists
