They wont choke out as long as you got good air inside they will get thicker and thicker amongst themselves. But, bigger tote for bucket lots more air and cool water temps 2 lb plants can be achieved. Cheers

Seedling grew tap root but has white cotyledons Sprouted two bubba kush, first one is fine but second one never popped through the soil. Was worried it was stuck so I removed the shell, and it revealed a white bulb looking structure that I was able to split to reveal the white cotyledons. Is the plant trash? Its been 24 hours

Outdoor Bonsai: Root Pruning instead of Repotting?? Thoughts??I figured I would start off my first grow question with a bang: I'm thinking about turning Barry into Bonsai Barry. So basically, put him in the 7Gal pot and root prune where ideally you would repot (I would say 2-3 times knowing that I'm early).. 3..... 2...... 1....... SHOOT
