I thought that it could potentially stay viable for up to and maybe exceeding 1 year ? Asking because i said f it and grew them out for personal use ! Not worth it but it is only 2nd grow EVER. But its a brand new 5x5 and in same room as my 4x4 so i just need to give it a few cleanings and dry...
I have never been a fan of planting two plants in one pot unless its decorative that is but if your trying for fruit or buds i would be sticking to one plant one pot . Also not for nothing but should space them out so it one gets infected you do not lose the whole thing
