Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Pruning and sucker removal on indoor grown, indet. dwarf plants

Hi Ray, I'm glad the link was helpful. I'm still not sure how I want to handle the suckers on these indet. dwarf. I agree with the chops to keep them in their place, but I wonder if I'll be limiting fruit size/quality (not necessarily production) by staying my hand against the sucker removal. I have enough duplicates of a couple of my plants (4x RP, 2x Mr. Snow, 2x Smt Gld) that I could try a little experimentation to compare the two "techniques."

I don't know about where you're at in Cambell, but here in Roseville, CA I've pretty much managed 100% on the sunlight coming through my south-facing garagedoor for the past month. I think the cold is the only concern with temps now getting down well below 50F at night and in the morning when I open the door.
