2 plants in one pot

One plant....one pot. Tried many times years ago to do 2 in one pot, even huge pots, but they just end up competing with each other for EVERYTHING, nutrients, water, light, space, root room.....everything.....and instead of two plants, you end up with two half plants. Roots seemed to be the biggest issue...it was a tangled mess of arguments!

You can, but it is not recommended. They will be consistently fighting below and above the soil for nutrients and light. Just like any crop spacing is key to a healthy and successful harvest. Happy Growing

I had a run were two plants started from one seed till the end in one pot - would not repeat it, but it was first my double ever and i convinced my friend to leave it I saw one amazing such run, but believe wise advice : one pot - one girl ! growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/20573/5022338_grow-journal-by-asnoriu.jpg Had same situations as yours, was just ripping/digging with finger weakest out. Did in few times, all even ripped out grew nice. Can't recall diary, but same action is documented here at some first runs. Had stupidity to try out many in one pot , i think its REALLY stupid. growdiaries.com/diaries/67412-bag-seed-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/320916

Your light is way too close. I would separate them put one in a solo cup or something. They will ro each other of light and nutrients in same Potter. Both will suffer.
