I give them miracle grow once a week for tomatoes & vegetables, I plan to turn to compost tea,I’m buying things to make a garden. I bought a tiller, some soil to mix into the dirt, and all I need to do is buy 5 more 50 LB bags of soil, and get a gallon of sea kelp, molasses.I also have 2 Goji berry plants they are doing fine they are in 5 gallon planters plan to put in ground soon as I till the yard next month.So what would cause these problems with Tomatoes? Thanks for any advice you can give.
I have one of my tomato plants in a topsy turvy and I noticed that it is not doing so good the tomatoes are real small, and it winds up drooping a lot.So I assume those topsy turvys(the Bag) is like a green house, real hot on the roots.When I see it drooping I water it and it bounces back.I do not know if I’m watering it to much, yet it has been hot out here in California lately like over a 100 degrees.The one I have in the ground its skins are thin and white on certain parts.
it is me with my vaporizer wtf
btw it also lets more air flow at the bottom and that helps with co2 movement
call them suckers cause the take energy away from the plant they wont grow to be very big cause nothing on lower branchs grow very big due lack of light when they are in early veg stage you remove the lower ones so plant uses that energy to focus on the top ones that are going get nice size due all light on top
lol wtf is up with your picture ?
thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for this video! I live in southern Wi. and i planted kind of later than O should have but, my plants grew so fast and are so full and heavy,I was amazed at how fast they grew and this is without any fertilizing or anything! But a friend had told me to trim.prune it but I wasn’t sure how and didn’t know anything about suckers..so I appreciate this big time!!!
and everyone knows a good sucker is hard to find
I appreciate you taking the time to share!
Thanks for teaching. Why do they call them suckers? I was on Yahoo someone was asking about tomatoes and one guy said you got trim the suckers, I thought he meant actually bugs that eat the plant. That is how I got here. I assume they call them suckers cause they suck all vitamins from the plant, am I right?
Nice! subbed!
thanks !
you can prune anytime,try not to get too zealous about it (like I do sometimes).. a little at a time is better.
Thank ya so much I have been wondering how to do this, hope I am not too late?

Great info. good video!
thanks , this was also one of my highest viewed videos,, but I got negative comments about the camera angle at the beginning.. so I clipped the beginning and re-posted it.
I lost many thousand views by doing that.. but
To be honest ,I’m not in it for the views,subscribers..ect…I have less than 500 subs.
over 6 years of videos.. not so good …lol
Good clarity in your vid, I did a similar vid a year ago and it has turned out to be my second highest viewed vid… and I almost thought it was too simple a subject. I enjoy your vids.
Great instructional video. I heard about suckers and pruning but had no idea, thanks to this i now have a clue. Will be pruning soon. Thanks
