Question about roots

[dougefresh]

whats up fellas....I was wondering, I have 6 plants in a 10 gallon rubbermaid and my question is say I have persay one male plant and the other 5 are female, is it okay just to cut the male at its base and leave its roots in the rubbermaid concidering they will be tangled up with the others or do they rot and cause bad things for the other 5 plants?

The cut pants roots will rot and kill the other 5 .
Rule no. 1 in hydro = 1 plant per container unless using clones or feminised seeds .

well shit thats a problem...do you have any suggestions, this is my first time growing hydro..what are some good single container systems..i mean I had a single one befors which worked great, but maybe you have better ideas or better materials on which to use?

These on top of a 5 gal. bucket and you can make individual bubblers.
They come in 10 inch too.
