Hey folks of RIU I need some advice just like every other person on here.
I can not find the exact question Im looking for. Im just wondering if
anybody has an opion on growing four plants in the same container.
It's about two feet long, a foot&half wide and about seven
inches deep. I plan on growing them three feet tall. Opions :joint:
are greatly needed I have about a week to I transplant the seedlings.

Do not grow multiple plants in a single container. You will end up with problems throughout the growth cycle and a lower yield than if you used separate containers for each plant. When you put multiple plants in a single container, they are forced to comppete with each other for water and nutrients. Inevitably, some plants will grow with more tenacity than the others, essentially "choking out" the smaller, weaker ones. Also, their root systems will intertwine which will increase the possibility of becoming root-bound. It also increases your chances of disease in the root zone. And if one plant gets sick, they all get sick. I highly advise you spend $20 on multiple containers. I promise you, your plants will be much happier and that means that YOU will be much happier :-D
