How does growing two plants in one pot effect yield?

[TheFertilizer]

So I was talking to a pal of mine about my grow and I mentioned that I am short on pots and he suggested that I just put multiple plants into a single pot. Right now I'm only looking to do 10 plants but have 5 pots and so I would be looking at 2 per pot, and I'm going to be using 3 gallon ones.

I am wondering if this is really a good idea? I mean they're feminized seeds so I don't think I will have to deal with a male, but I'm kind of wondering if the yield would really be proportionate. Will two plants in a 3 gallon pot produce the same amount of bud as just one in a 3 gallon pot?

I am still planning on just getting some more pots but I wanted to ask because I couldn't find any information on how it effects yield.

From each pot you will possibly have one strong plant and one runt.

Maybe try it with 1 or 2 pots first.

Or just buy more pots, they are not expensive.

You could also make your own pots from 3 gallon buckets and a drill.

If you are running feminized seeds it maybe a better option for one per pot and save the rest for round #2. Focus on training single plants for better yield, and they will get the benefit of having the entire pot to themselves for their roots instead of competing for root space.

In the same pot they will compete for root space especially 3 gallon pots. If you look at my current grow in my signature I have 2 girls in a 15 Gallon and I believe that one part of the difference in size is due to one dominating the root zone. Before Moving into the 15 they were both relatively close in size in their individual 1 gallon pots.
