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

Fungi around the seedling
I've noticed some small mushrooms coming out of the soil - I used mycorrhizae around the seed holes, but it's supposed to spread through the roots. There's also some greening on the parts of the soil like bark. Is that a good sign?

Leaning Plant /
Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her? See comment for more info.
