you probably dont have to transplant just yet. just because a few are poking out the bottom dont mean its going to get root bound anytime soon. yeah, a 3gallon pot will be a pain to transplant but if you gotta do it you gotta do it.

Ok - it just scares me because I JUST did this transplant last week, lol.

If the roots are trying to go deeper and deeper (out fo the bottom of the planter)...

will they just start to fill out the rest of the planter instead of going deeper?

Next time just try to use a bigger pot to begin with. This always saves me the hassle of transplanting. Just a thought. G'Luck

yeah - sadly I thought this pot would be big enough.

When will I know that I need to transplant again?

As a rule, when I transplant into my final planter(s), I cut the tap-root, ie: the longest roots w/side growth, so it/they won't bother growing any deeper and this obviously promotes side growth, in this case, more feeder roots. Have NEVER even seen this result in even minor shock. I use surgical scissors, dipping them in alcohol first and allowing the alcohol to dry.
Taproots, IMO, are for anchoring the plant to the medium and thus, outlive their initial purpose after desired depth is attained. Of course, they also support feeder roots.
