Hello folks just wondering when you guys start to terminate growth points on plants you have your keeper tomato set on?
My plants that have my keepers so far are all around 7ft and was thinking of terminating growth points at this point.
Thanks

Jim's was up fairly high like 5-6 ft. I've not had luck at that height but I dont fertilize or prune in a way that would make that happen.
