i replanted another seed in one of my pots because i figured the other seed was no good, but i wake up this morning and the one i gave up on has sprouted and is looking strong. now i have 2 plants growing in the same pot, what should i do?

if its a big enuff pot they will both survive one might be a male and youd have one plant to flower. or you can carefully dig up one plant and transplant it to its own pot

Dig it up. If it's small enough & the pot is big. Ifnyou have plenty of space between the 2 sprouts then just seperate them before the roots spread out more.

lemon skunk. yes they have both sprouted and both have their first two sets of leaves. and what should i use to dig them up? i was thinking maybe like a small spoon?

Small spoon will do. Just don't damage the roots & they will be ok. A little in shock but they will be good after a few days.

I've heard superthrive is good for transplant shock, is that too strong for these small of seedlings?

im not sure but i just moved her a few hours ago, im a little worried about it because it was growing very strong before just toward the edge of the pot, the only thing i added to it was some root builder but i feel like more needs to be added due to what it just went through?

you might want to wait like two more days until the root structure evolves and the plant can better handle a transplant

little too late for that but when i pulled it from the pot the root system was already close to a foot, how much more evolved should it have been

So the transplant is complete? Dude relax & don't any like nutes or watever. Let it be make sure the medium has some water. A foot of roots sounds real healthy. Let it be for a couple of days watch it's droopiness. It should plump up aver a couple of days. At this point watch the hieght of the lights the plant may be a bit sensitive to don't stress it even more with heat.

i would dig them both up so that i dont wreck any roots in between them, also it would just be easier, then i would just replant them both. at that age theyre roots are pretty small. i just dug up two tomato plants with my hands and re planted them. i had the same problem. because well they are tomatoes so i just through some seeds in a pot. i do it all the time. then when they are a nice sise i put them all in seperate containers. but i wouldnt do that with my weed. im sure they woudl be fine but i guess im an idiot? lol idk. i dont want to hurt my little monkeys

woops sorry i didnt read all of that somehow....ignore my post lol

il post pics here in a few i guess i just worry too much and wanted to get the transplant out of the way before roots started running into each other. im running a t-5 now and i cant figure out how close to set them to the seedlings at this point, they have started to develop some pretty sweet leaves and everywhere i read said put it like 2in from the seedling but that almost seems like too much light for them, i could be wrong but some solid advice on that would be awesome

Haha little monkeys. How many tomatoes do you get off your plants? Mom wants me to grow her some tomatoes. I'm growing her jalepenos instead.

Florescents give off very little heat man. So put your hand between the seedlings & the lights & bring them closer & closer if your hand feels too hot then obviously it's waay too hot for your babies. 2inches is always safe but give it the hand test anyways. Putting the lights too far up can make your plants stretch & that isn't cool. You want as much light as possible on them the closer the lights are the less the light can go anywhere else but to your plants.

well damn my lights are at a set position. do you know any ways to make like a pulley system or something to get them closer? as it is i would say they are about a foot or so away

a foot? Can you get them any closer? Or is this what you need the pully system for? Get them from a hydro store or use real strong rope or chains. A foot away seems kinda far. Several people can have their floros actually touching their plants so I'm sure you can get them a bit closer.

Get light hangers that are meant for hanging heavy lights. Even if your lights aren't heavy why not havethe extra scurity you would hate to have your lights fall on the plants. Look up online hydro stores they might have cheaper prices then your local hydro shop.
