Is it okay to trim the roots growing under my tomato plants (which are growing in containers)?

I purchased 2 huge containers to grow tomatoes in. I planted the tomatoes deep as instructed and both plants are about a foot to a foot and a half tall. I noticed a few long stranded roots coming from the bottom of each pot. The roots were white and wet since they were sitting in the saucers under the pots and it had just rained. I'm not sure if I should leave them there or try trim them. Repotting, unfortunately, is not an option due to limited space.

If roots are growing out under the pots they need more soil to grow in, They are root bound and will soon die if you don't correct the problem. Maybe the pots are big enough you just set plants to close to the bottum. Maybe you can use the same pots and replant closer to the top with potting soil added to give the roots more room.
Reply:If your plants are only a foot tall and roots are already coming out the bottom, your container is too small. What kind of tomatoes are they and what size are the pots?
Reply:They're not going to get any nutrients outside the pot, so I don't see any reason to keep them.
Reply:Yes to cut them off will be fine.. It will do no damage to the plant at all..
Reply:No problem at all.
