Hello Folks,
My four Grapefruit babies are now 40 days old and one foot tall. I'm ready to go into flower stage. The plants are healthy and bushy and my main concern now is that they are too crowded in the closet set up I have running. The four are in 11 litre pots and occupy roughly one square foot each. Some leaves and stems are getting flattened against the door and wall and I know this is likely to get even more crowded as the plants will at least double in size during their 60 day flowering stage. Should I remove one plant, I was thinking of keeping it as a mother, to give the other three more space? Is over-crowding a bad thing, does it effect plant health and final yield? Or is it ok to let them grow so close together?
