And just to add...

Putting more than one plant per container is a thing that can be done without risking a pathetic grow. Especially if the container is of a good enough size that, even if tangled, the roots have plenty of room to grow and absorb nutrients and water.

The biggest concern one should have is being screwed if one plant should begin faltering while the other is thriving. Theres no way to nurse the other back to health without affecting the strong plant in the process.

Right about then though is when one can realise the roll of genetics.

btw...I've two 9'ers sharing a 30 quart container. Both are doing well, and bursting with young blooms. They're looking to be coming along nicely for a new grower that was ignorant of when to get flowering happening.

From cloning each, is where I saw right away the impact of genetics. For whatever reason, one of plant's leaves curl as if lacking something while the other plant has been perky from the get-go. Clones from each did the exact same thing as their mother did.

lol...I'm not so daunted anymore...but still wish for these things to stop fukn grow'n so damn much till they're ripe.
