About your training question from the FAQ section, if you're at 5 nodes now, it's the perfect time to TOP them. Since you've got quite a bit of space you could try and spread them out some to create a larger canopy. As opposed to letting grow naturally. The FIM WILL give you more tops, but it's more unpredictable and it's slower for plants to recover. I'd suggest topping and spreading then out.
#1 as long as the roots aren't sitting in the runoff water they will be fine. This will however lead to mould and possibly invite bacteria and parasites to inhabit the saucers directly under your plants that have a more or less porous pots.
#2 I would imagine so. They will airprune themselves but this does not mean they can't get tangled up and/or over crowded.
#3 I'll wait for pics, probably getting a little hungry. That'd be my guess. I wait for the update...
KiG cheers
