Itoero, I did not notice that you are growing single-stem
tomatoes in a greenhouse. I think hanging strings from some overhead support and either wrapping the string around the stem as it grows or using tomato clips to clip the stem to the string is most popular for growing single-stem indeterminates in greenhouses. Here is a picture of the type of clips growers commonly use: http://www.hydro-gardens.com/growsup1.htm#plantclips (But of course you can make some equivalent from anything. dcarch once posted an idea to make plant ties out of plastic shopping bags. He would fold the bags over the long way several times, then cut them into 1-inch wide pieces with scissors. Unrolled, each 1-inch piece would make a plant tie that was wide enough to not bite into stems and elastic enough to stretch in a wind without snapping off stems. And free, of course, for anyone that brings groceries home from a grocery store in plastic shopping bags.)
