More than one plant in a pot??

Hey guys i am getting ready to start my operations back up again and I had a real quick question. Last time I grew i used individual pots. This time i was thinking about putting two plants into each of these tubs i have. They are probably 20 gallon tubs at least. Two feet tall and five feet long. Can i do this or is it better to just put one plant in seperate 5 gallon pots?

You could probably put 3 plants in there and not have problems.

You can use the tub

Do the 5 gal

You can better watch the watering and use less plus there won't be any fighting for space

Just my to bits

You can put as many plants in a container as space will allow. Each plant needs about 2-3 gallons "soil space" to provide for it's root ball. A long narrow Strawberry planter works great. What is most important is "how much space is needed to bud out the plant." You don't want to crowd the maturing plant, thus keeping light from penetrating to the inner parts of the growth.
No, I'm not "Joe-Grow", just an old guy that grew his first indoor plant in 1982.

You can grow it in the 20 gal tubs
But keeping them seperate is alot better IMO

thanks guys. I think im going to do the individual 5 gallon buckets. when they exceed that i might put them in 10 gallon buckets.

you'll need to transplant more frequently my friend..
