is multiple plants in the same pot a bad idea

adventure xD. How about little more research

First of all, they are gonna compete for room, recently i could have chosen to sprout 4 seedlings in big pots(1 in each) but i choose 3 so there is some room for the lower branches can be bent over there or whatevery is needed so it doesnt turn into a jungle. 2 in 1 pot strategy is rare, i dont understand it but if you want to go on a adventure and take risks be my guest. But like i said, never really heard of it and perhaps theres a reason for that but then again what do i know. Good luck

Pots are not expensive, give each plant it's own pot.

Those bags are about worthless they’re inconsistent and don’t put out enough to be worth the money. now why put some many tiny plants in a 5x5 is beyond me. You can do better yield wise with four plants in that space.

Done that too much work. These will give me more yield than any of your 4 plants guaranteed! Don't knock it until you try it.

Crowded pots = spindly larf. You'll be wasting valuable grow time.

I have more than four plants at any given moment. I’ve tried just about everything out there. As for those out yielding any four I would do that would be a be negative man.

It's fine if we are talking about a proper bed of soil, like 4 plants in a 4x4 bed is fine, but that's around 30 gallons of soil each, of course, some plants are more aggressive rooters than others.

i disagree. If your not growing 6ft plants, 4 plants in a 4x4 bed is a waste of real estate. I used 20 gallon fabric with 3-4 plants each with zero issue. Nspecta puts 36 plants in a 4x4 bed and the results speak for themselves.

i did 2 clones in a 5 gal side by side with singles they grew a double main stalk but the yield was the same or less than the single plants

Yeah I haven’t done this with weed but I have with tomatoes and had the same result. There’s no real good reason to do it unless you’ve two seedlings whose roots have gotten tangled up together or something.

i do it, no issue.
