anyone affraid of root bond.? im not,

you should be, those plants are going to fight over everything and the roots all tangled together. They are going to be badly stunted. What do you intend to do with the males? either you'll need to leave the root system and chop at soil level and deal with the risk of root rot from the decaying root systems, which will then spead to the healthy, or you'll have to try to untangle all the root systems damaging them all terribley and still ending up with decaying roots in the soil.

yes im planing on cutting males down at soil lvl not going to risk pulling out other root systems, your saying that by killing one plant since the roots are going to working as a family it can kill other plants??? that scares me but illl keep you updated there all really thick stems and short n stocky plants. i have them on a 24 hr light cycle., sooo.. yeah i heard roots grow mostly in darknesss..

yeah im just planing on keeping them wattered well and maybe spreading them out next week so they get more light... but they are really heathly and all are very strong, ive had a fan on them since theyve sprouted so there stems are super beefy now, any tips or suggesttions??? for plant food to keep this family grow alive?

ummm if you do like keep them all in the same pot, I would recommend a bigger or more deeper pot. That could help a lot but other than that they do look very health so props and goodluck I'll be watchin to see where this goes.

I would give it MAYBE another week in there and then pull it. You'd be surprised what just one plants root system looks like at that stage--I've seen the same setup from day 1 and out of 7 only 4 actually made it--IMO I would take them all out and put them in seperate pots. Have fun, experiment, that is the only way we can really find out if it works or not :weed:

i would get at least a 5 gallon pot for all those. i wish you the best of luck but i think your going to come out of this pretty disappointed, i have tried to make it work quite a few times and even in the best of situations they at most would match 75% yeild of just one plant in a similar sized container, and the most ive ever tried is 4 in one pot, they are alot harder to care for than just a single plant as well, much harder to keep them all happy and healthy, usually one plant will not be getting enough of this or that nutrient and try to fix that one will cause burn in another that doesnt have a def. Good luck my friend. I hope they do great, but i really doubt they will.

Don't take this the wrong way but something doesn't seem right.
Not only would a serious grower never do what you're trying, but
seeing what you're doing makes me wonder if you even know how to sex plants.
I only say this because two days ago you had a picture of a pot full of young sprouts
under 24/7 lighting. Two days later you have 18 of 20 of them sexed as female.
They don't look old enough to be showing preflowers in the first picture.
The latest picture doesn't even look like the same pot of plants.
Sorry if i'm wrong, it's just what i see.

well ok guys check it out, I DO know how to sex plants trust me on that! the pic looks diffrent cus these plants are growing VERY rapidly, like i dont even know how theres growing this fast so your seeing that 48 hours change. nd the first picture i poasted they where nearly 3 weeks into veg, im just going to show you guys up and show you that i can grow mutipul plants outta one huge planter! seriously look how big my planter is, ! ass of now none of my plants are wilting or showing any sings of stress,, all's i can say is i will keep you guys updated.... as far as "serious growers" go no i guess you could say im not, this is my second grow ive allready flowerd a bagseed outta this planter all organic, ! the bud came out great and had no seed,

Serious might be the wrong word.
I shouldn't come off sounding like some kind of pro, i'm not.
I've subscribed and will follow along.
I've thought about doing 3-4 clones in a 10-15gal tote,
but nothing like what you have, and not under cfls.
We'll see how they flower. Good luck
