yeah, that's a fat indica. It looks like it's probably 100% indica. My pots are about that size and my plants are about 3 feet tall and they seem to be doing fine. I've thought about transplanting, but they're flowering good and I don't want to shock them again.

That depends on how long you intend to veg them before you trigger the flower cycle. Usuall I have 3 different sizes I use. I use a small peat pot for cloning into. Then I use a pot about the size you have there for vegetative growth. Finally, a couple weeks before I am going to trigger them to flower, I put them in a 3 gallon pot that they will live in until harvest. By using the correct sized pot you allow the root mass to grow uniformly instead of spreading out runners in a pot that is really too large or too small at the time. I hope that helps. The plant looks very healthy.

I was told once that the rim of the pot should be no smaller than half the diameter of the plant at it's widest point. I really have no evidence to back that up, though.

they look over watered. the lower leaves are curling under.
they could use a bump of nitrogen.

can't you just do the same thing in the big pot? it's the same thing. disturb the roots as little as possible. i rake mine open just a little but try my best not to damage them.
