what about bonsai it, as in take it out of the pot, take a steak knife or knife and cut alone the sides of the pot maybe less than 1/2" to 1/4", place back into the container with fresh soil along the sides. allowing the roots to grow again into the new medium. also i believe i read that root tips are inactive? as in they aren't used in absorption of nutes

keep in mind root growth slows down once you flower....

I have the same thing but thats what I want I also have my
babies on 3gal pots on top of 5gal buckets, wich I drilled holes on the lower
part on of the pots so the roots could come out and make it a big root system.
you can try the same thing but if not let the roots run free.

dude. your fine.
roots coming out the bottom is normal. That just means the roots have grown to the bottom of the pot, which is good. Do you expect them to never grow to the bottom? Starting to get it now?
They will start coming out, then the plant will realize whats going on, and the roots will keep growing in other places

Well guys I am not going to put into another larger pot. I have transplanted this plant like 4 times already! Don't ask! But I'm just going to let it be! I was going to tape the corners of the flower pot, there are about 6 more holes right under the bottom of the pot, so I wouldn't see why it would matter......

Don't tape anything, leave it alone if you are not going to transplant. This is normal for all growing pots, the roots will be air-pruned when they grow out of the pot and will not cause any problems.
