So I dropped a couple extra seeds by accident into the cup. They all are from a pollinated female. Tent accident, yes the are autos, I’ve already grown some of the seeds. So what I decided to do is just let them grow. I transplanted them early into 10 gal tall pot, with organic soil. So nothing but water for the entire grow no feeding. Good horse compost mixture. My question is will they all grow? Two has already grafted at the roots.
good chance one ends up dominating the others also a good chance their roots get all tangled up. If you have the option I would split them into different pots.

@Ds401 makes a good point. The root systems will compete for nutrients and water and they will become entangled. Entanglement is especially bad because the plants may mature at differing rates, particularly given that they are autos.

I agree, in a standard pot that would be the case, along with fighting for nutes. Which is why i went for a 10 gallon tall. The problem with a deep pot is watering is inconsistent. The pot is a fabric pot which means it wicks away the roots. This causes the plant to grow more roots continuously. I also aerated and dropped watering lines at various levels. I will water with a pump throughout. the soil and if needed during flowering can deep feed to. But I have a lot of seeds now and a Northern lights pollinated a criticalxxl and it’s good. This was an accident and not costing me anything, because I do my own slow release mix through flower so the water is easy!
Keep in mind that cannabis needs soil wet/dry cycles for proper root health. Water and then let the soil dry out before watering again.

Correct. I also have side lights in the 4x4x8. It may be a bust, but if one dies I’ll still be left with one or two.
