one plant vs 2 plants in 7gal smart pots - Side by Side Grow Experiments - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

So I just finished a grow and unintentionally did a SBS.

I had 3 clones of critical mass (mr. nice) under a 600w hps. One was in a 7gal smart pot the other 2 in a 7gal smart pot both with the same soil mix. The pots were next to each other in the room and had equal light access.

The result: the single plants yield was exactly 100gr (my indoor PB), the other 2 plants together gave only 85gr.

I've done this before and had similar results.. In the double potted container one plant outgrew and shaded the other.
I've seen people do really well double and triple potting in 800 gallon smarties outside but I think that's a different animal

ya the single plant also had bigger buds and less trim. All 3 plants were topped once.

I've had the same experience but no exact figures. It does help if the two plants one bucket was in a scrog but just vertical growing, the plants fan leaves will shadow the bud sites and nothing will form.
