Thank you! It’s two separate plants. I’m thinking I planted them to close but after I figure out the gender I’ll cut the male down (hopefully ones a female).

Two in one pot is a big big no no

RF,
Not trying to sound negative, but it may not be recommended to plant two plants in the same container and then kill one.
That would leave dead or dying plant matter in with a plant that you are trying to grow and keep healthy.
Plant look good though.
Way to early to sex them.
Good luck,

I had a “mystery” seed pop with another in the same pot before. Best to separate ASAP before their roots get entangled. Mine were at the point were I had to cut a bit of the roots. Luckily , they bounced back after separation. If you keep them together they most likely will fight for food and growth will be all f’d up. Just thought I’d chime in bc I’ve had this happen. Good luck

Should I go ahead and pull the smaller one? Before it goes too far?

If it's in DWC you can separate them, very carefully

If you kill the smaller one, what if the larger one turns out to be male???
I take it these are 'regular' seed, as there is a question of male or female.
Both plants could turn out to be male...then you're killing both.
Both plants could turn out to be female...then you could just keep both. (not ideal, but possible)
Or you could have one of each sex, probably the worse situation. (kill one, dead plant in with the plant your keeping)
I like @BobThe420Builder suggestion of trying to separate them. You will do some damage to the roots no matter how careful you are, (they will recover), but you shouldn't kill the plants.

Thank you so much for the help! Is it possible to remove the smaller one and put it in a soil medium? Because I only have one Hydro set up. This is my first grow really guys thank you!

I have never done anything but hydro.
But yes it is possible to transition the plant from hydro to a different medium. Some guys move to Coco.
I would suggest reading up on the different types, soil, coco, perilite, vermiculite, and see what you feel is the best fit for your situation.
I'm thinking a quality potting soil with NO time release nutrients is going to be your best bet.
But that bring you to the decision of what type of pot to use, and what size, and a feeding schedule, ect...
Just trying to make the point that soil is a totally different ballgame than hydro, with it's own learning curve.
Be great experience for you, and you don't have a lot of other options.
Lesson learned, one plant per container.
Cheers,

Completely possible, cannabis is a durable plant.
As long as you don't give it too much light and enough water, it should recover within the next day
Best of luck! Plenty of good info on here, just have to ask

May I ask what made you decide to put two plants in a single bucket?

Well when I did it I was thinking 50-50 chance one turns female. LOL I know noob.

Weeds tend to steal nutrients from others instead of cooperating with them. Trees and vegetables will trade nutrients between root zones but I think a weed plant will steal from and strangle another. They also have explosive root growth that takes a lot of room.
