No matter in the long run though, you can grow the burliest of toms in a 5 gal container by reducing the number of stems. It's noteworthy that keeping the plants hydrated is easier as you go up in pot size if you're hand-watering.
Thanks for the tips Ricky, I have no idea how my Cosmonaut Volkov will look like. I bought the seeds from Solana and 2017 will be the first year I grow this variety. I will be planting it in my raised bed and in one grow bag to share. What would you suggest for a 'forgiving' compact tomato in a grow bag?
