am planning on doing a small micro dwc pc grow with 2 autofem russian rocket fuel and when they began growing am sure their isnt a whole lot of room in the small container for the roots to spread after they develop but my question is if the roots touch each other will this harm the girls?
 
I dont really understand pc grows, i dont see the point, is there no way for you to make a wooden box 1mx1m and put it somewhere, will be much easier and will yield a LOT more the a pc grow

I will keep that in mine for future grows and i can see how it is more benificial but space is an issue
 
You never want to put more than 1 plant in a container. The roots will tangle and will eventually kill 1 or even both of the plants. Always seperate containers for each plant.
 
If the container isn't large enough to house both plants until full maturity it could kill one or even both of the plants. And if not it will stunt growth. Don't try and play me bro.
 
While it generally isn't a good idea to have more than one plant per container due to the fact that the plants will be competing with each other for space and nutrients. I have experienced this first hand. I had a 12gal rubbermaid DWC system with 6 plants in it. 3 plants got crowded out and it stunted their growth. They didn't die but.......the other 3 could have very well died if I had not watched it like a hawk.

usually 5gals of grow space is required for each plant....so if you got say like a 25gal roughneck and had 4 to 5 plants in it , then I don't think it would be such a problem. Anything smaller and you are going to experience difficulties.

i'm not playing you bro, i'm just saying 2 plants or more in 1 container is not going to kill one or all the plants. have you checked out any threads of grows with more than 1 plant per container?
