Please have a look at my diary "R.D. take ii", week 2. I have two babies growing side by side. What can I expect from this design? is there any transformation technique I might want to look at? thanks!

I tried growing 2 tomato plants in one big pot and basically I think they fought for space in the root zone and above the soil. Neither came out that well compared to doing just 1 in a pot. I would imagine the same would happen in your situation. Got to get one per pot.

all but one comment said transplant, but try to search the blueberries diary, like 20 in one pot, wow. Any how over 12 hours from transplant and they look vibrant and happy this morning.

Hi, are you keeping them in the 3 gal, that's not enough space for 2 photos I will predict now that one of the 2 plants will struggle as they fight for root space, the smallest pot I ever used when growing multiples in one pot was a 5 gal and still to this day I think that was too small!! You will also have issues with feed, I found using organic dry amendments was best for multiples, when I tried running bottles with them, one plant seemed to burn while the other was struggling for food. You will also want a scrog to keep the canopy level, as said it's not a complete disaster what your doing but I do think your lining yourself up for issues. Min 5 gal for 2 plants A living soil with a good active rhizosphere to keep both plants happy Lots of training Hope this helps, all the best 👍

Not a great idea. In my experience (only did it once!), growing two plants in one pot leads to competition for everything, nutrients, water, root room, access to light..... everything. Instead of getting two plants, you end up with two half plants. The best thing you can do is to separate them now, while still quite small and before their roots become entangled. Otherwise, choose which one you prefer and cut the other one off. You could always leave them, but do not expect either one to be as good/big as it could be. Hope this helps,............. Organoman.
