I'm trying to figure out how tall can my plant get before I will start having problems with rootbound?

She is 19 inches now in a 3 gallon pot and I'm on day 15 of flowering and Day 38 since Germination.

Id agree with fdd you should be ok with the 3 gallon pot but if you have 5 gallon pots even better lol

yeah I don't want her to get too big...I just want a decent yield for personal since this is my first grow

how much can I expect from a plant between 2-3 feet tall as far as yield?

its kind of an unknown as depends on how good of lights you have expirence, nutes, grow area, genetics of the strain, soil has a formula when coupled with watts.I have heard people claim 1 gram per watt but thats not realistic.If you did everything perfect maybe 1-4 oz per plant dry. Myabe less then a quarter bag if ya didnt

well any real experienced grower will tell you a a gallon a foot...
for every gallon (pot size) = a foot of plant..

so for a 3 gallon pot = up to a 3 foot high plant
for a 5 gallon pot = up to a 5 foot high plant
but it also depnds on how you transplanted throughout your grow..

always start in the smalles container and "Gradually" work your way up..

Right now I have 9 sexy lil 4'+ bitches in 5 gallon containers... 3 weeks into flower...
