Need to pull a plant... will it kill the others?

[Synethste]

Alright, so I've got three plants in my DWC tank together... (easyryders) The one in front (see picture) is seven days older than the other two, the survivor from my first failed attempt to sprout, but obviously runted...

The other plants are fine, a bit of burn here and there, but the little one has been loosing leaves like crazy. It's to the point where the buds are about to start dying, within the next couple days.

Its at day 52... the trichs are mostly cloudy... But I'm mostly converned the the roots will die off in the tank, and rot the others out.... I'm thinking about clipping the biggest buds and leaving the rest to slowly die, which should give the other two pleanty of time to finish. I just dont know... what would you guys do?

The roots won't rot the others in the time it take the other two to finish.....I'm digging up my outdoor holes from last year and still finding white roots.

While I don't see root rot being an issue either, if you wanted to get shorty out, why not use a long knife and cut him out. Going around him at his drip line with a knife would be a form of root pruning, should get the lions share of his roots. Re pack the hole.

Check the roots I've had a few mutants and was able to gently separate from the others,If not I go with not completely killing it even though your close, who wants res probs.
