The way I ended up with two in one pot was I was short pots and I had two that looked like shit and were way behind all the other ones so I had pretty much written them off. I put them together in the same pot and figured I'll see if they live or die and it ended up out of 10 plants only 3 were female so if I would have killed those two I would have only had one female. I try not to kill any off my plants unless they are male, I always try to give them a shot at making it.
why is it taking so long?

Your pot looks exactly like my pot I'll show you.

Eventually they will become root bound just trying to have you avoid that problem.

I don't see any signs but you can only tell by the growth patterns and looks of your plant,and that plant of mine is about a month old that I'm growing into a bonsai first 7 nodes were takin from the plant due too major stress and she began to rebound after I forced flowered to make sure she was a she and now that I know for a fact I've put her back to the vegetation stage I have her in my grow journals as Tilda's Bain(Northern Lights KC Brains).I will let her grow till her trunk size is between 2 1/2 and 3 inches thick.
wow I want to watch this I will def. check out your journal.
so if i wanted to force flower in a couple days or so. cause you can see the 8th set of leaves growin i was gonna wait till they got big to where you could visually see the 7 leaves before i would do this but how long on the 12/12 cycle until you should see signs? cause im not tryin to have my plants all humungous and what not. maybe 2-3 feet

It does seem that things are working out with your folks. Lets just hope if they happen to own their home instead of renting or leasing you do not get busted because if a charge of growth for distribution could be made to stick the authorities could confiscate your parents home/property. Well that depends on where in the world you live, but it can happen, it has happened, it does happen and it will happen again.
If you are in veg, which I believe from what little I have read you are, and you wanted to separate your plants there would be two options, but one is fairly risky and the other slightly risky.
You can cut your root ball in half and then cut back your plants to try to keep as equal of a balance between below ground growth and above ground growth. If you pull it off your plants will seem to sit and do nothing a bit but then they will take off like a jackrabbit with a roman candle stuck up its butt. If you do not get lucky, they will die.
The less risky way, but one that can be a pain but can also save plants that have to be separated, is to do a bare root transplant. You pop the plants/soil/root ball from the pot, rinse all the dirt off with a hose and then carefully separate the roots like freshly washed tangled long hair or a 'bird's nest' on a fishing reel after a failed cast, and then repot each plant spreading out the roots in the new soil as evenly as you can when planting. If done well your plants will never know they were moved.

Root-bound:
Root-bound is where the roots of your plant outgrow the container they are contained in.
The following symptoms may be observed if you allow your plants to become root-bound:
- Stunted Growth.
- Stretching.
- Smaller and slower bud production.
- Needs watering too often.
- Easy to burn with low % nutrient solution mixtures.
- Wilting.
thanks for that info man. appreciate it but how exactly shall i "pop" them out lol/ if i were to transplant like i did with the other plant im growin i took a small gardeining shovel went around the width of the pot and tried scooping it out. the dirt fell apart and left that root ball you were talkin about but as well fuckin decapitated half the roots lol i put it in a slightly bigger pot and its doin fine now but slower growth. i honestly would like to keep the two plants you saw in the same pot. but im getting told obviously to transplant. about my parents yeah. my dad tells me he doesnt want trouble at this house blah blah blah and tells me even take them in the woods behind the house which by the way gets little sun light id have to massivly work my ass off and stuff to make an area where there is sun and stuff and where nothing would eat them. ve been casually movin the pot in different areas depending if hes home or not in other words if he was THAT serious he would of killed them by now. hes not the type to let me grow either which is surprising on why he hasent killed them.

He's absolutely right Rougar and you should try the second method most sound of all to do this you shoud flood the plant with straight water to loosen the dirt from the roots using a low pressur hose that can adjust the stream of water to spray when you get down to roots and just keep going till you just see the white of all the roots than painstakinly take apart as best as you can and re plant in fresh soil.
