multiple plants one container

My first couple plants that I am experimenting with have gone through quite a bit of stress and I think I want to replace them with these girls from outside.
My seeds were bag seed and came up all females... I know I may have some issues with bananas during growth and that I want to keep them as stress free as possible. If my goal was to grow these pretty small and to flower somewhere around a foot tall could I just leave them as they are to avoid the stress of digging them out and separating? They all have about 2 gallons of soil each in this laundry basket. Or would it be best to gentle separate and individually pot? I know feeding will probably be a pain in the laundry basket since liquid will seep out of the sides but if I pour really slowly I guess it could work out... what do you guys think?
edit: p.s the are just coming out of my accidental flowering I believe

At a foot tall you could probably get away with it with just two gallons per plant but you're gonna be pushing it and overall yield may be effected.

Hmm so it's okay to have holes all over the container like that?
Wondering how that goes with the no-see-thru pots rule

Nah, the holes won't make a big deal.

Cool thanks for the replies. I think I'm gonna give it a go.
I think the holes are ok because the roots will be air trimmed.
Question: I most likely have fungus gnats in the substrate. I've read that you can soak your soil for 20 minutes to drown them, does this also kill eggs and would it be worth doing before I brought them inside?
I have a feeling fungus flies are gonna be my worst problem with this set up... to many holes to barricade them with d.e... I guess azamax is the go to product?
Also, how do you guys feel about a small amount of aspirin in water for your plants?

I have heard good things about aspirin in water.
I recall that among its benefits is that it ameliorates the effect of broad mite toxin, IIRC.
Good luck,
JD

I may try it out at one 81mg to a gallon. I read a little bit about people using it to induce herming though. I wonder if lower doses are at risk of that?
I'm thinking about doing one more LST of the main stem before I flower. Is it wise to allow the new shoots to grow before flowering?

The more you let the new shoots grow the more bud you're gonna have.
Read up on the gnats there are many ways to get rid of them. They mainly effect new cuttings and seedlings when their larva eat new growing roots. Once the roots have gotten big like on a large plant they don't effect the health of the plant.

Oh, fucking please 6 months to start to reveg. (commenting on what I saw at the Shoomery) Bullshit on that one. I had a full room of plants way way way back in the day (80's) and I turned the lights back to sex the plants. (I was still learning) Well we sexed the plants but it took close to 3 weeks to start to reveg or as it's actually called revert.
The plants will have 5 bladed leaves the 3 the back to single blade leaves just like when it was a seedling. Once back to 1 bladed leaves the the process starts back to normal again. 1 blade the 3 then 5 and so on.
I don't post shit unless I've actually done it, if I haven't done it I'll be the first to say I can't comment on the subject cause I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
Maaaaaan don't make my lazy ass take pics. I'll come clean with ya I actually have plants reverting right now.

haha I'm glad I asked. I thought it seemed odd. Thank you for clearing that up.
I guess I'm almost there then, I've got a lot of single leaves. Do you think since I'm on that stage(the single leaves) that I would be better off letting them revert back to 5 before flower? I probably shouldn't veg them out to much more anyhow.
Thank you again for the expertise

Nah, the blade number don't mean shit. Go by the size of the plant and your growing space, or personal preference to determine when to flower.

Anyone venture a guess on how much longer these may need? No rush just curious

It is hard to say.
Wait for the authorities to arrive :0) but I think that those are at least a month from done.
I forget the breed....it could be a lot longer.
Good luck,
JD

Thanks you for your guess. I was thinking about that too since the strain is suppose to be a 71 day strain.

There are some rough indicators that you can watch for, but use a small hand-scope (40X or so at a minimum) to check the little resin drop on the hairs. They go from all clear to all amber, passing through a cloudy stage that is the desired state to harvest.
The pistils will tend to be turning red.
The leaves will begin to die back.
All vertical growth stops.
There are many heuristic indicators....I use them all in my newness. :0)
Good luck,
JD

*Bookmarked* Those plants look surprisingly healthy to be 4 to 1 container. Carry on...

Thank you for the infos.
I'm surprised how well they are doing as well. You should have seen them when I first started flowering. I neglected the heck out of these girls and didn't really expect to do anything but compost them. They are showing me what these plants are capable of and teaching me a lot along the way.
