The amount of growth will be limited by competition for water,

If you want to thin them wait until the true leaves (not the cotyledons)
appear and open, then choose the healthiest one and cut off the others.
The main thing here is not to damage the chosen one.


Hi David,

Question: which will get me more fruit? Three smaller
plants crowding each other or one larger plant?
