2 seeds i one pot =???????

[oliwog]

hey peps this may sound odd or stupid but a few years ago i was growing indoors and run out of pots so put 2 seeds in one pot
what happened:
they both sprouted fine then one didnt grow at all and after 2 months was only 4 inches tall and deformed
now heres the odd bit the other plant went mad and within 3 weeks was a over a good half a metre tall it was female too and gave some rather juicy buds
the other was jus fucked
i want to know if anyone else has done this either on purpose or by accident and got similar results
i want to see if it will work again but dont want to risk wasting seeds and having 2 fucked plants
i know it sounds odd but it seems that one plant takes all the qualities of the other and so you can get twice the plant in half the time
i may be wrong and it might have been a fluke let me know if any of you have experienced the same effects from doing this

i bet it was just a dud seed and the other plant got lucky, but i dont know

[dryst]

the roots tangle and stunt each other...its bad for both of them...of course the dominite of the 2 will evetually take over, itll still stunt them both maybe even killing them

[oliwog]

i see ya point peps but the thing is both seeds survived and one was all deformed the other was huge in 3 weeks i see that the roots would get tangled i did seperate the both after a couple of weeks and like i said both survived but i didnt flower the criple
il try it again on me mext crop to see if the same happens like i said it was a couple years ago
also after the third week the big one i grew on the window sill durin summer it was completed in bout 6 weeks all together and a good metre tall
il keep ya posted IF it works again

Two in one can be done...

Its best to avoid it though!

As far as why you had one suffer while the other thrived...that can be one of several different reasons. Genetics for one. Or perhaps the sickly sprout didn't germinate in as ideal a condition as the other. It doesn't take much to upset a sprout in its first couple days...the wrong sort of condition sets them up to be doomed from the start.

I tried to do multiple plants in a pot so that I could maximize the amount of females I would end up with. After advice and observation, I decided (before they sexed) to take my chances and kill them off so there was only 1 plant per pot. Now that they are in flowering, I am very glad I did it because about a week after I weeded them out, they really started to take off. Out of around 13 plants I ended up with 5 females, which is more then enough.

When you remove one, you can really tell how the roots intertwine. That said, I think the biggest problem is that...if one of the plants develops its own problem, then you cant specifically treat it because yo have to keep the other plant in mind. I have also seen some setups where they used planter boxes, all the roots intertwined, and they thrived. Tranoble has one in Growroom Setup. He says the roots get so intertwined he has to cut them up to remove them when its over. But they flourish.

No doubt, when considering how tightly bunched outdoor growing can get....roots can intersect and wrap around each other no problem at all....as long as theres a sufficient volume of soil and nutrient for them to grow without pause.

I believe its okay to do...not prefered, but okay. The ones I have...ehh...lesson learned. Everything is seperated since those two became a major labor of love.

I had some large pots that I grew two plants in each. They were growing fine, but then I had to get rid of them cause all the pots that had two plants, one was male. None of them had both females. I think if you want to grow small plants it's okay to put two in each large pot. Not the best way, but it works. Now if you can get them both females might be another story.
