my plant has grown its first truss, it has one large flower on end, maybe half inch wide followed by smaller flowers.  problem is thats it no growing tip.  is this normal?   there is a side shoot i have not nipped out lower, is it worth growing this as a new leader?  thanks.

The big flower is typical of the beefsteak tomatoes...is this the type you are growing?
Do you know the variety as this could also explain the lack of growing tip, if it's a bush type. So can you let us know a bit more, please?

yes it is a large variety, not sure if it is a bush type, maybe this is where i am going wrong, thanks

found out it is indeterminate type, i assume this is not a bush type???
