On the basis that this is one of the most recently posted to threads and it includes remarks on seed-grown gojis - I wonder if someone with from-seed experience can help me pls?

I have some 20-30 seedlings of various sizes from recovered seed from a Percy Dalton's supermarket pack (for eating). I was delighted to get some away and germinated and whilst I know it'll be a long haul before any fruits arrive I thought it would be fun to be able to say - "here's one I grew earlier" - all by myself!

I think they are about ready to go into larger pots - say 3" - before they are placed in much larger containers some time next year.

They are 2-3" in height and have around 8 true leaves.

The main point of help I require is.....should I pot on and then, once settled, pinch out the centre shoot to encourage a bushy habit or should I pinch out now and allow recovery before potting on.

Perhaps if someone has tried both methods you can say which gave best results?

Cheers.
