I went with 100% TTF for my tomatoes this year. Seems to be fine, I had first fruit set a couple weeks ago, and the plants are between 4-6ft tall already! I'm on my 5th? year of growing with the Urban Farms hydro system, been very happy with the results.
To cram as many plants in my little plot as possible I have the grow buckets separated at 16" on center, half the original spacing. In prior years I have pruned aggressively to ensure good airflow. This year I thought I'd try going prune-free, but already have a freaking jungle!
So, a question for all Tomatoville Gurus since I'll absolutely have to do some sort of pruning...
Should I go back to aggressive pruning with 2-3 main branches or can I just prune leaves to address airflow while greedily keeping as many branches, flowers, and fruit as possible? Other options?
Thanks!
