Why not just run 2 5 gal pots and not worry about root interference?

No

I just bought these pots. I thought I could put them to use. Will roots interfere not allowing both plants to grow?

I will just use the pots for one plant.

Yes. They'll bind each other up. It's different outdoors where space isn't limited.

You'd be better off doing two 2' round bushes in your grow space.

I've seen setups where people used kiddie pools with multiple plants in each but they are much larger than 10G.

OK. I was only planning on three or four plants. I can put the other two in smaller pots. Thanks for the reply.

I can do that. With training that could work out nice.

You are going to have to veg for a long ass time in order for a plant to fully colonize a ten. Just saying, and make sure you have enough aeration/drainage or the roots will be sitting in a perched water table..

I have a drain tub for the pot. So aeration as well as drainage should not be a problem.

I veg 2 months using 20-gallon smarts and the roots do fill that. No root binding either. Just use gradated transplants and don't toss a seedling into one and expect quick results.

How long does it take for a seed to sprout?

I sprout mine in Miracle Gro Moisture Control soil on a seedling mat. Almost 100% germination in 3 days with sprouts up.In 4 they are all up. Then to party cups etc. I plant in the 20's when they can fill a 3 gallon kitty litter container. Usually around 4 to 5 weeks. If you plant the seedling directly in the 20 it will take forever to get going.
