Default Couple of questions

Chris - I believe the seed you sent me was the Micro-Multiflora F3 (I don't have the seed packet with me).

Do they need to be buzzed to pollinate when inside without any pollinators flying around? I planted these in late November and have pretty much left them alone since. I put together a self-watering setup that has worked very well as long as I fill it every two weeks or so. I have been too busy/lazy to give them the attention I thought I would and have only even checked on them every couple of days.

Also, should I get rid of some of them and spread them out so they have more room? When I set things up, I planned the space around the pot size and didn't take into account the plants would spread like they have. They are in one gallon pots and are almost 12" in height. They are absolutely loaded with flowers, but I don't know how well they are setting fruit. Like I said, I have paid them very little attention. Just today I set up a fan that will give them some wind for 30 minutes 3 times a day. I wish I had thought of that a month ago.

I have another identical shelf with 10 pots of various other micros. They don't look nearly as healthy as these, although they are of various varieties and so they look somewhat different, rather than all identical like these.

I will pull them all off the shelf Saturday and give them each a good look to see if there is anything ripening. I have really neglected them, so to look as good as they do here, they are really a vigorous plant.
