Hi guys, im growing the white widow and i was out of soil pots, so i planted 1 week old 4 x plants to 1 big pot becoz i was seedling them in very tiny pots. Now my question is: can i cut few leaves from those 3 week old plants becoz there is no ruum for them all to grow up in same pot? or what can i do? i cant take them out from there anymore. :blsmoke:

eeeeyyy...i would say try running them under water to get rid of as mutch durt as possible and slowly pull them a part..there will be some root los but they can make it...or just cut your loss and kill two of them...or take clones and grow the outher three in a 10 gallon pot...

at three weeks old most plants wont really be able to take a trimming. Without the leaves the plant will take in alot less light thus stunning its growth. This also depends on the kind of grow. If its outdoor then u might be okay to do it cause its got untill october to grow, but as far as indoor goes i wouldnt chance it. Just spend some money on some pots and u will see a much better crop in the end

Cutting isnt very good right now. If you need to cut them because its getting to crowded at a few cm tall then how do you think they will be when taller? They arent going to get less bushy so either let them grow and then remove the males when you can tell them appart, or try to seperate them now and give each its own pot or look into LST and tie them down and away from eachother.

Yeah this is indoor grow indeed. Thanks for that info. I wont cut them at all. I let them grow how ever plants want. I let the nature lead the way.

Thanks all for comments. :blsmoke:
