so ive read a couple different things, some saying its ok to grow two plants per pot and others saying not to...do you think this would be a bad idea? I'm growing two plants that are just starting out now and using some cfls. im doing a closet grow as well so space is some what of an issue but i could do two pots if necessary. thanks for the help!

tits, i say bad move. there's a shit-ton of roots in a single plant, so putting two of them in the same pot is a bad idea.

Be honest with you dude.. It's probably not a bad idea since your not trying to get all technical with it..Just give it a little bit more nutrients since theres double the rootage.

Yea just like P chingon said lots of roots so you have a high chance of getting your plants roots tangled up(not a good idear).

I have 2 growing in a deep 10" pot right now. LST in 2 different directions. Day 14 of flower and it's looking like a bud making machine.

Here's the issue: If you get one male and one female, you're f'ed. You can't take out the male without screwing up the roots of the female. Even if they were clones and you knew they were both females, you won't get any more with two smaller plants in the same plant than you would get with one plant. In fact, it might be a little less for the simple fact that two plants would have a lot more vegetation (leaves), thus hindering the light from hitting the budsites as much as possible. I say don't do it. No point.

i see what your saying...another thing tho, when you think i should transplant into a bigger pot? It's been like 6 days now and shes about 2-3 inches with her 2nd set of leaves coming in now. It's in a small cup size planter now but i have a couple gallon planter waiting

yeah, you can put it in now. It's better to put it in before it gets rootbound. 3 inches in a small planter is about the right transplant size.

1 plant per pot. Crowding only leads to bad things. If one is male then all you will have is seeds. If they are female then your lucky but then your yield and plant health suffer due to the plants fighting and stealing food from each other.Not to mention not being able to repot them or your going to stress them by ripping the root balls...so class 1 plant per pot

Is only cool at the start, After you know it's a female I would pull the smallist or plant it by itself ,if your are lucky that both are females,
