do you guys think it would be ok to plant two or 3 plants into a 5gal container if it was 12/12 from seed since it wont be a full blow vegged plant?

i would not put two plants in the same pot, just get 2 pots at half the size
What he said.

The more plants you have in a pot the more they'll fight for water, one plant would be smaller than the other and if it continued that way may even die.

Wouldn't they develop better in individual pots? It seems like the roots would compete. It seems to me that they would be slightly smaller and a little less productive. Hey, what do I know though!

as long as there enough space for the roots to grow and not get root bound its fine. i wouldnt put 3 plants in a five gallon bucket after a while they will get root bound and stop growing and if ones bigger it may shade the others and they wont get enough light

also im not worried about them fighting for water, i have a soil moisture meter so i only water the plants when the meter reads dry completly all the way through....better dry than wet in flowering since in flowering *making the plant think its a drought it will naturally produce more trics n whatnot to protect "the seed" which there are none if u pick the males, i prefer to let it go to moist instead of wet as much as possible, and i dont mind watering twice a day if i had too..which would be rare...these are the 20 im tending to now...i only did 18/6 for 2 weeks and its been 12 12 since

as long as you water with a 25% runout you well be fine for soil wetness. they will be fine... just have to feed more offten when growing multipul plants in one pot also
