Re-planting .

[Misty]

I was wondering...
Is it crucial to have one plant in one pot or can you put a few of them together in a really big pot?
What are the do's and don'ts about this?

[I.B.Token]

It's usually not a good idea to plant more that one plant in a pot. The reason for this is that you don't know the sex of the plants your placing in the pots. There's no way to separate the plants when it gets time to separate the males from the females. You surely don't want to grow male and females in the same pot as the root masses will be growing together and impossible to separate without damage to the plants.

Thanks that very clear!
More than one plant in one pot a big NO!
Got it!

Ive grown 2 plants per 5 gallon container no problems also this isnt a bad idea because if one turns out male u still have one plant female in 5 gallons of soil if both are male cull and take pot out. With 2 plants per 5 gallon container grow them both to 3 feet tall and pich so u have 2-4 main shoots, it is always good to get the most out of any space used u can. The 2 plants are safe and I have had no problems

This would be a problem if you pulled the plant out simply cut the plant at stem even with surface of dirt, dont pull out the plant, this 2 plants per five gallon is suited for crops grown from seed I suggest using cuttings(clones) from a female mother=100% female.

I think I'll go with seperate containers,it's much easier for me I won't be growing simultaniously anyway.
But thanks for the info.

Go with separate containers, smart idea. Growing 2 plants in 1 5 gallon container, stupid idea.

Sorry dude tried and true 2 plants are find its all about the experience. I've thrown out more plants than you'll ever grow!!

Greenbudz, you're actually going to argue its a wise move to grow 2 plants in a 5 gallon bucket... ? Then you're simply misinformed... just because you have successfully accomplished something, doesn't mean it's not a stupid idea.. And I wish you would take your misinformation elsewhere... In no way, at all, is growing 2 plants in 1 5 gallon bucket more efficient, smarter, wiser, better for the plants, easier, more convenient, than spending $3 and getting 2 5 gallon buckets, you're limiting your root growth by having 2 plants in a 5 gallon bucket, if for any reason there is a problem with one of the plants, you now have a healthy plant with a dying rotting plant rootbound to it, transplanting if neccesary becomes a horrible experience.. I just don't see where you're going or what you're trying to prove... yea sure maybe you grew a couple plants in the same 5 gallon bucket... doesn't mean it was efficient, doesn't mean the plants grew to their full potential, does mean you made a bad choice, and happened to get lucky, or maybe you got unlucky and just didn't know it because you've never grown the correct way.. Talk to anybody who knows what they're talking about and they'll laugh at you when you try to tell them growing 2 plants in 1 5 gallon bucket is smarter than simply using 2 5 gallon buckets.. no how many plants you've "thrown out" , ...

I still don't understand what you're trying to say, Is your opinion that 2 plants in 1 5 gallon is better in ANY way than 2 plants, 2 5 gallon containers, and if it is, would you care to explain why? 2 Plants in 2 5 gallon containers will outperform 2 plants in 1 5 gallon container, all other conditions equal, any day.... and 2.5gallon per plant, is restricting plant growth, and the plants just aren't going to be able to achieve their full potential.... and don't send me any more Thumbs Down PM's or any more because I just don't care.. You can have your opinion, but this is pretty much factual... 5 gallon > 2.5 gallon... not to mention all the other negatives of housing 2 plants so close to each other without being able to easily remove one with out shocking both of them, or killing one of them.. just doesn't make sense....

Again why must you resort to personal attacks via PMs.. this is a forum if you have something like that to share, please post it.. why not just defend yourself, I have yet to see you give one reason why it would be wiser to grow 2 plants in a 5 gallon container.... please enlighten me, and you got offended because I said growing 2 plants in a 5 gallon was stupid, as opposed to a bad idea? in my book bad idea = stupid, sorry if my "rude idiotic comment" upset you, even though it was in no way directed at you personally, however your comments (and PMs) are the ones that appear, rude, idiotic, and quite immature (around that of a 15 year old) So next time you retort, please make sure it's to defend your opinion, as without some sort of factual backup... it is nothing more than a stupidly bad idea...

Greenbudz,

My original reply to Misty was simple and to the point. I've been growing for a long time and learned many years ago that it's much simpler to plant in individual containers. The forum that the person was asking the question from was The Absolute Beginners. I assumed that they probably were starting their plants from seed. Half the questions on the forums are here because people got misinformation. It's always best when growing weed, to keep it as simple as possible. You have a lot more success.

[Misty]

It was good and clear advice I.B.
And I will follow that advice,thanks.

Yeah everybodies got their way of doing things but ive done it at harvested plenty of weed, averaging .556 grams per watt and I use 10 600 watt systems.

[Splifster]

^^ Cool, maybe if you grew them in separate containers you'd be getting close to 1 gram a watt.. please stop giving bad advice now...
