Hi from South Africa, my 2nd year planting tomatoes, as we in a complex, I do 10 x 15 litre tall containers for my tomatoes. Last year i only took a few suckers off but they get to a point that they are hard to managed, especially in a 15 litre pot but I landed up tying them to my upstairs neighbors balcony 😅. I will be switching it up this year by doing single stems this year and compare them to last years production. Thank you for the 12 branch advice, that sounds like consistency and will give it a go 😁. May all of you have a blessed year of growing. Cheers

As the fruit gets heavier, the plants tend to slip down. These clips work great, but on a small scale you could use twine( loosely)

Hello love your channel. Very informative. I am venturing into hydroponics farming from my boring 9 to 6 job. I wanted to know how many Kilograms of tomatoes can be grown in a 2000sqm hydroponics setup (polyhouse) or cucumbers in a same area average In a month or year given a 1.5 cycle per year. I am doing a feasibility study before I setup the farm and checking with other farmers if the numbers check out. Looking forward for your response. Thanks

I have one question, do you prune the plants to grow higher? I have been growing beefsteak tomatoes in hydro phonics and I pruned the suckers the first time around and cleaned up the bottom of the plant, thinking it would give more fruit. The one thing it did was just shoot up to the ceiling. Lol. This time around I didn't prune nothing and the plants are thriving with 3 times as much fruit, the suckers are producing amazingly. So, I don't know but should I prune or no? I agree with pruning , it's a ton of common sense, for sure, but I don't want to miss out on a plant that can really thrive and produce. The one problem I have is the height of the plant, I can't have them grow taller than 7ft because I have an indoor garden, I dedicated a small room to my indoor garden. Let me know your thoughts, I would appreciate it. Love you guys and I'm definitely a fan!

@dskrpncs 4 жыл бұрын

I feel like the production with this method would result in fewer fruit per plant. Is is more of a space savings measure or do you get more production from a plant when you trellis?

@michellestewart1459 4 жыл бұрын

Growing tomato plants in close vertical quarters is both space saving and higher yield (indeterminates will grow until they can't anymore so the more footage you can get off of them the more fruit you will get) plus by trellising and pruning you're maintaining the health of the plant and the fruit (by limiting many dirt/ground born diseases and pests). Hope I answered that well 😊.

@@Growwiththelaplantes I have not tried them. It looks like the system only uses 2 clips per plant and a metal rod with a string tied to the bottom.
