Roots Growing Out the Bottom of Pot

One of my plant's roots are growing out the bottom holes of the pot (about 3 gallon tidy cat). Otherwise the plant looks good: 6 plus weeks into flower, 35 inches tall (I started 12-12 at 11.5 inches: about 32 days from planting seed; I have height limitations); the trichomes are nicely dense mostly cloudy; hairs are about 50% orange.

It's under a 400hps, watering every 3-4 days; FFOF, fox big bloom and cha ching every other watering according to their schedule, 1tbs of molasses every other, non-fertilizing watering.

While thick with trichomes, the buds seem a bit slight (which I expect still at 6 plus weeks flowering).

Should I be worried? Should I do anything?

Personally, I think you'll be fine. Plants often have roots that grow out of the bottom of a pot if the plant has a lot of roots and not enough pot. Carry on as usual and you'll probably be fine.

This is perfectly normal, and nothing at all to worry about. I definately wouldn't advise transplanting at this stage. It would be pointless and counter-productive.
