''Pinching'' out Tomatoes

Some of mine have 2 trusses on at the moment and none is over a foot high. If you have one truss and the plant is huge it has been starved of light I suspect. I usually stop cordons at 6 trusses but it does depend on the look of the plant.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Where are you and how tall are you - if the tomato is indoors it sounds well and truly forced and should be pinched out now if it's that tall. One of the reasons you only have one truss so far is the plant is putting all its energy into growing upwards and little into setting fruit.
If I pinch out the tip will it grow flowers lower down?

I pinched out all the side shoots (they were only tiny 1" long). It looks like it might have another branch of flowers developing I'll have a better look tomorrow.

I did it the year before last to give a few plants to my neighbour when he lost all his when his greenhouse was caught in the floods. They will go all floppy and limp for a few days but persist - they come good!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
