2 plants in a 6.5L pot, is it crazy ?

I noticed half of the space was used by the roots in the pots last session. Since I have schedule issues, I was thinking about putting 2 plants in one 6.5L pot in order to have a 12 plants sog and use F1 seeds (90x40 cm tent), with a scrog and lst (and fim ?). Is that a bad idea?

Bad idea. Plants send out hormones from their roots and if two plants tangle roots the hormones will signal each other the wrong things-like stop growing. You dont want that. Thats on top of the nute issues the others already mentioned. There is no good idea or good part of that plan-The only time ive seen two plants in one pot or one hole is when multiple seeds are sown or multiple clones/ seedlings are planted in same hole/same pot and left for a few weeks or so and the strongest one is kept and the others removed. Other than that dont do it. If your picturing two plants as big as the single ones in a single pot then your in for a shock, at best you get one decent sized one(but still smaller than the single ones) and one stunted runt, at worst you get two stunted runts. Sorry to burst ya bubble but there are many reasons you dont see pple doing it ok.

better one plant per pot. but its not impossible to do two. One plant will take dominance and they will feed differently. Also id one plant need to be removed its easier. Good Luck!

Yes, it's a bad Idea. Do you mean 2 plants in the same pot? You are asking for trouble, it'll be to hard to workout feeds 1 plant will take more than another as dif strains sure even the same strains take dif levels of nutes. And if you run into 1 def on 1 plant it'll be on the other. I don't even l8kr the idea of a fixed DWC/RDWC as 1 plant suffers they all do. Sep pots for Sep grows pal. Also, 6.5l pots is very small. You should be aiming in the range of 8-11l for autos and 11-14l for fems. Also try a root stim it'll transform your grow. Root growth on the b9ttom is like a mirror to the top. The more room roots have to spread out grow the better the size/height/harvest of the plant as a whole it's just better. Please don't put 2 plants in the same pot, or do. But trust me, without even attempting it's a bad IDEA. Yoi say you got tight time, well if you do thst you wont have any time, cause all youll do for urself is make problems. Happy growing good luck.

I am not too concerned about the roots. How much space did you have above in the light?
