Pruning and sucker removal on indoor grown, indet. dwarf plants
I just watched this short video on pruning indeterminate tomatoes, something I already do on my outdoor summertime plants:
http://www.johnnyseeds.com/t-videotomatopruning.aspx This winter, I am growing around 10-12 New Dwarf indeterminate varieties (Mr. Snow, Summertime Green/Gold, etc.). I have these growing under artificial light, and I'm about to transplant them into Raybo's InnTainer system from the 6" pots they currently reside within. Most of the little dwarfs are growing into toddlers, now at about 10" on average, soil to tip; and they are flowering all. They majority also have several 1"+ suckers, that on a normal tomato I would have probably already removed. My question is what are the pros and cons, case for and against, removing suckers on a bushy, yet indet., dwarf type plant grown indoors? Any thoughts or experience on this sub-category of a familiar topic? Thanks, Naysen |
