Three's Company, one Pot? Grafting or Pheno Cage Fight?

Aloha from Oahu. Does anyone have any experience testing more than one plant to a large pot? Like 3 strains to a 10 gallon pot? I've read the many cons about attempting it, but not too may pros. I decided to test the theory. I have three 10 gallon fabric pots with 3 strains

From a simple mathematical point of view anything is possible, but it would require a low level of metabolic baseline to take 3 in such a small pot. If you attempt 3 in one pot at a minimum you need 15-20 gallon to make it through 18hours, with any sort of meaningful metabolic temperature. More temp = more cooling = more transpiration = more water. Its less about what you can and cannot do and far more about realistic expectations. We do not grow, we facilitate energy conversion. You are asking 3 plants to grow with such small gas tanks they can't even make it to the finish line after 18 hours above 80f..... You would need to supply water multiple times a day once canopy developed, this can wreak havoc with efficient cellular respiration come nightfall with dense soggy soil. Every carbon molecule split requires 6 molecules of water to do so. Your final harvested plant is 46% carbon, you want fat yield you better give her unlimited access to water tanks. There is no such thing as too much water, only water that sits too long in the same place. The environment must dictate the level of response. Ideally you want to sorta use pots large enough to hold enough moisture capacity so you only water every 1,2 or 3 days depending on how fast evapotranspiration occurs. Want to build a regular wet dry cycle. Clockwork. Can't do that with small pots efficiently unless you can dedicate serious time to maintaining the extra work daily to do so. Why water 4x a day when you can do it once, not thay you can't, merely a time thing. Time is money, by week 15 you are pulling your hair out because you missed 1 watering and fried the trichomes off. Oopsy. Work a synganic living soil in 100 gallon 4x4. Reaching 2.21g/watt. Little more than adding water, I do feed the rhizosphere and use synthetic nutrient delivery to signal autophagic responses that are not so easily initiated using tradiotnal synthetic methods, as they don't work the same way using a rhizosphere and organic nutes. Using biochar organic biology for structural nutrition while leveraging precise synthetic inputs as chemical triggers rather than primary food sources. A 4x4 bed holding 100 gallons of soil provides massive thermal and chemical inertia. This scale allows the microbial loop (mycorrhizae, saprophytic fungi, and rhizobacteria) to colonize deeply. When you introduce synthetic delivery, the soil biology prevents salt buildup by processing or binding excess ions, allowing you to reap the benefits of systemic signaling without burning the roots.

Mau Aloha' I haz plenty experience with having many variety of plants growing together. on my diaries Ramona for example, she grew up surrounded by onions :) and lemon tree grew with a lemon tree and a tomatoe vine 😌 As for sprouting multiple seeds in one pot, I had 5? attempts and all died. all very careful controlled indoor grows. Yes, it should work just fine :) Like with strawberries.

it's better to have 1 pot per plant, but if it's large enuogh to give each space to grow before they compete, could work out fine.

YES YOU CAN HAVE 3 CULTIVARS TO A 10 GALLON POT!!!! I HAVE SEEN MANY AUTOFLOWER GROWERS DO DIS!!! AUTOFLOWERS ONLY NEED AROUND 3 GALLONS OF MEDIUM!!! IF YOU PLAN TO DO DIS WITH PHOTOPERIODS SEEDS I SUGGEST ONLY A 3-4 WEEK VEG!!! IF CLONES ONLY VEG 7-10 DAYS!!!! IF YOU KEEP DA ENVIRONMENT/MEDIUM IN A GOOD RANGE DER SHOULD BE NO ISSUE!!!! ENJOY DA TEST RUN!!!!

In my experience it will only work with living soil. You could get a living soil fabric bed that fits your tent if you actually find this way of growing is the right path for you... I have been doing living soil no till for he past 2 years I havnt bought any soil/medium I just cut the finished plant out ammend and leave for a week before planting into the hole madewhere the other stem was... its the way forward. No chemicals just grow te way God intended... good luck

Good afternoon, I don't have experience on this subject, but it seems logical to me that there will be 3 growing in the same spot, meaning it's a matter of space. They will be more compact due to lack of space to develop...
