Out of control indeterminates

akgardengirl · April 22, 2007

I must have started my seeds way to early as I have 12"+ ind. plants with blossoms forming. They are in 3" pots and I plan to put them in larger grow bags today. Is it harmful to the plant to remove the lower leaves to repot deep so that I can "shorten" the plants some? Also, do I pick off the blossoms since I still have approx. 6 weeks until I can start to harden off? They are now residing out in the much cooler shop in hopes of slowing things down some.
