    Default Answered: remove the stunted plant from shared pot?

    Hello... weird situation so bear with me! Can't take pic atm.

    I had a few autos that for whatever reason stopped growing past about 3x3" in size. One of them started flowering and still didn't grow so I decided to cull them.

    Then I decided to put two of them in one 12l pot, one on each side. Now I knew all the reasons why that's not wise, but I'm currently enjoying general experimenting and growing out shit plants, and also I wanted to try at least a smoke of both of the strains.

    Currently, one plant is still 3x3", has one flowering top,and looks terrible. Asking to be culled.
    The other has taken off beautifully, looks great, I've trained it a bit and it's almost filled up it's side of the pot nicely.

    Question: would I be better off to:
    (a) leave it all as it is, so as not to shock the healthy plant. Let the good plant grow around the 3 incher. Or
    (b) do a "my girlfriend" and pull out the 3 incher... let the good plant use the whole pot and maybe even grow to normal size, at the risk of damaging it's roots in the process.

    Hope it makes sense. Thanks

    Id just leave it be now you’ll damage to roots of the better one if you pull it. Either that or just snip the runt at the base of the stem"

    I’d be worried about cutting the tap root on either just cut the shit one at the stem as close to the top of the soil as possible

    Thanks for the quick replies.
    Pulling the roots didn't feel right, especially as they're autos that have already been stunted.

    Not a big deal then but still just wondering, would the benefits/extra space of cutting down the tiny, stunted plant (with a single top), outweigh the small cola i'll probably get from keeping that small plant, which is supposed to taste significantly nicer than usual (sour crack)? Cause part of me thinks just keep it for the smoke. WWYD?
