Brownrexx, you are right that giant tomato growers limit the number of tomatoes per plant to one. They also do severe pruning. Some grow organically and some fertigate with a constant flow of low dose water-soluble nutrients based on soil tests, paste tests, plant tissue analysis, brix readings and soil conductivity tests. Big time competition as giant tomato growers try for a 10 pound tomato. They also use aerated compost tea and foliar feeding, anything that might increase the weight of the tomato, no holds barred.
