Well yes AND not at all.

First off you have two in one pot. That means they have interwoven roots. Thus are already fighting each other for water and nutes.

Being a month old you likely can't separate them, without tearing roots and risking the plants hermi-ing or dying.

Here is what they should look like at 1 month.

Pic1 is a 1 month old LST'd plant
Pic2 is a 1 month old TOPPED plant.
Pic3 is a 1 month old natural plant.

LST is Low Stress Training (bending back branches to expose undergrowth, reduce height and give better light exposure.

Topping is letting a few nodes form and cutting off the top. So energy once going to the top goes to the side branches.

Natural is natural! :thumbsup:

ALSO, get white around the plants not foil. You get more reflected light from white than anything else. Foils like that can cause burns from hot spots.

Would like to see top quality photos, possibly I could identify now.
