I took 6 clones a while ago and left them in shot glasses under a lamp and let them get on with it.
Well they are still alive.
Trouble is there is two in each shot glass and when I adventualy get them out the roots look quite interwoven.
Not sure if I should try to split them up or not.
I'm worried about stressing them out while trying to split em up.
The cuts are twinned with a cut from the same mum so I guess I could keep them together.

hi saus i would just run the rootball under the tap and gently seperate them,or plant them together and train them one way and the other,or you could twist them together and tie them and have them grow as 1 central trunk i prefer to seperate them myself,peace and good luck

Hmm
I quite like the idea of keeping them together and training them to grow away from each other.
I tend to have to LST due to lack of head space anyway.

Cheers duke

Seperate them mate, it'll be worth it in the long term. I wouldn't worry about stressing plants in veg, it's not like they're going to hermi on you. Give them time to recover and they'll be dandy.

I'm usually an advocate of taking the lazy option. However, I think if you leave them as they are, when they start to veg properly you'll have 1 plant dominating the other, so eventually you're going to cut the weaker one away anyway. Might as well separate them now and if you're tight on grow space after vegging a while, choose the strongest ones to flower out.

Ive got 2 sets of "twins" on the go just now, they were potted 2 in a pot since birth.

 

They are now nearly finished, only problem was separating  them to get enough light on all the buds. I used a metal coat hanger to keep apart.

 

Otherwise they have been fine - evil twins.

I ran them under the tap, despite the wife saying no :)
Separated them, both the Delahaze cuttings don't look like they have any roots coming off them but the others look cool.
Thanks guys

Keep it if its the same strain. If you, for some reason, want only one plant per pot you will be better off simply killing one in them.

Untangling them is likely to severely damage both.
