Probably, not sure I want to transplant again at this stage though. Good idea though maybe for my next grow, or if I run into problem and need a backup solution for what I have now... Iam just wondering whats the potential issues I might run into with this current setup.
One that I thin I might start seeing is light, but I see many pictures of people with bushes of weed together, and it looks fine, so Iam unsure if this is going to be a problem, next, was wondering about the rooting system, if they might start interfering with one another.

There could be some problems with the rooting systems. I'm sure if you train them correctly (LST), you can get more production from the 4 plants than you would have off of just 1 big one grown to its full potential (that is just my opinion though). I usually use about 15 gallon/plant separated outdoor to get each plant to their full potential. You probably won't be able to get all 4 plants to their full potential, but it should work. The biggest problem you will probably run into is space for light of course, that's why it'll be important to train each plant well. Good luck. Post some pics if you get a chance to show what it actualy looks like.

Here it is the one growing out on my balcony, the one in the back suffered a bad case of heat stress then my outdoor environment is pretty hot as well, was a bad day for em all, just the on in the back is taking a little longer to recover, as I needed to put them away in a Crawl space one day with a 20W CFL, but its slowly recovering.
The two on the left are 4 weeks in the other two no the right are just under 2 weeks

Cool man, just train the hell out of them, and you should end up with one monster ass bush. You could probably go ahead and start LST'ing that bigger one some to go away from the others.

Is their a problem with roots getting to much light when using the 20 gallon tote? Most totes are light colored and the light can easily pass through. Has anyone used light colored totes outdoors?
