Too many toms?

cabbagehead · « **on:** June 01, 2009, 10:13 »

On one plant I have 4 good sets with another six in flower. The plant is around 3ft tall. Should I pinch some of the flowers? Also, the plant is quite leafy. Should I prune?
Tx for any help.

We could do with knowing the variety before going any further!

D'OH! Of course sorry. The one above is "Moneymaker" I just had a quick count up, sets and flowers add up to around 80/100 toms. Unbelievable?

Seeded in February (heated propagator)

Grown on in 3 inch pots. When the plants had a very good root system I transplanted into grow bags. Now feeding plants twice a week with a bog standard tom feeder. Mix 40ml x 10lt. Giving each plant around 2lts each over the day.

Sounds fine to me.

For "Moneymaker" leave a single central "cordon" by taking out all the side shoots - if you are not familiar with that task this may help:
