If you honestly believe that all of those plants are going to die, I respect that. but I doubt you do and most of you are just being typical losers
A number of messages back you had mentioned that your plants were wilting. Check out problem number 6 of the root-bound condition.
Get ready buddy ... because the 'multiple plants in a tiny picnic basket with hardly any soil in it fun times' are already beginning! It is only a matter of time until you lose more plants. You will be lucky if one survives long enough to have a tiny harvest of Ghetto Gold.
What is 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:
1. Stunted Growth.
2. Stretching.
3. Smaller and slower bud production.
4. Needs watering too often.
5. Easy to burn with low % nutrient solution mixtures.
6. Wilting.
Tight roots negatively and permanently affect growth. No plant will do well when it's pot-bound. If plants did better growing under root-bound conditions, it would seem that Mother Nature would have arranged for cannabis plants in nature, where they evolved to grow, with their roots in tight little cones or cubes, yet we never see that occur.
Think a minute about what growth is. Growth is simply a measure of the increase in a plant's biomass, how much bigger it has become (the weight of the sum of it's parts), and is the actual measure of how 'well' a plant is doing.
It is common knowledge that tight roots restrict growth, reduce the amount of extension, and reduce the potential for an increase in mass, so even if you THINK your plants are doing well, the truth is tight roots are stressful and plants would rather have plenty of room for their roots to grow so they could grow as Mother Nature intended.
Tight roots not only alters the plant's growth habits but the stress of tight roots can and will cause other physiological responses. Again, this is happening because of stress, and is the plants unhappy response to being forced to grow in the worst growing conditions I have ever seen. All that and more is what you are facing and what WILL happen in your Leaning Tower of Pisa multiple plants in a tiny picnic basket with a couple inches of soil in it under a chandelier with a few weak CFL's in it grow.
