That's an old wives tale.
There will not be a sub-soil no holds barred cage match "2 plants enter, 1 plant leave" type thing.
Will they reach their full potential in such close quarters ? Probably not, but they won't kill each other either.

Roots will not strangle each other but will be in full competition for root space. Meaning you have to water more often and in my one run at a sea of green, I found it didn't yield as much as when I put one or two in a 5 gallon space. I seem to be able to get 2 to produce well but ultimately your yield is proportionate to your root mass. When I did a SOG I flipped them as soon as the clones were root bound in a solo cup. I transplanted four clones each to a six 5 gal boxes. They didn't get very big. Stems didn't get much thicker than a pencil. Like I said, it was my first SOG and I am sure I could have stuck with it and fine tuned it some but I just went back to fewer thicker plants. I am a firm believer in root mass.

I don't see any problem with a few plants in one pot but there is a limit, I would have started them off in 1/2ltr pots and repoted 5 plants well spaced in a 30ltr pot for example so each plant has 5ltrs of soil
how much space and soil has each plants got ?
Could remove some plants and add them in an extra pot
will help a lot

Well. Checked last night and they are all in 30gal containers. And my thinking is that some will be male. So in the end there will be more then likely around 6-8 or so per 30gal container. Unless all turn out to be ladies.

You are in a far more tolerable place than me, I suppose, the UK GOV is a backward bunch of cunts, they grow and sell a tincture spray called Sativex but tell us citizens cannabis has no medical benefits and so is prohibited. Here they don't go by weight they go by how many plants you have, so when you read in the paper guys getting caught with 20 plants it could even be seedlings! You are so lucky with your relax laws. Hope fully we will be out of mad UK laws soon anyhow!

Yea thats a hard place to be if you love your green i suppose. Id tell you t try to move to the states but honestly this place is going to shit aswell. Seems no matter where you are, there are problems.

Just a quick update before the lights come on this morning, ive noticed that all the seedlings are growing thicker stalks. Like thicker then the ones that were planted first. Also they look like there going to surpass there older siblings. Any idea why? Soil is the same, same nuites etc.

Here are some pics from this morning. If im not mistaken the larger ones are at just about 2 weeks under 12/12 and the smaller seedlings are at 6 days under 12/12.

New growth every day. Next pics will be when they show sex.
Been feeding with G.O. go box every watering. (Every 2-3 days) they are loving it. So far no signs of being root bound or issues.
They should start sexing in the next 5 days or so. Lets home for a high number of ladies.
Stay tuned for updates. Please leave hate at the door.
