When to pinch out tops of tomatoes?

[deltz]

Im sure the weather would be cooling off soon but when should I cut the tops of my tomatoes? Im growing gardeners delight and have about 4-5 trusses and san morzanos with about 3 trusses.

Many Thanks

hmm weeks ago , so do it now

Why weeks ago?

Why weeks ago?

because you want the toms up at the top to get just as big as the ones that was on the first tuss

I've already picked the ones on most of our toms 1st trusses.

Shalln't be pinching ours out for weeks yet, unless weather changes.

Mine get pinched out (in GH) when there's nowhere else for them to go or unless Winter strikes

I pinched mine out once they reached the greenhouse roof, my spare plants that I planted outside got pinched after 3 trusses.

I pinched mine out when they reached the top of the greenhouse. Outdoor ones I would stop now.

I'm taking out the tips of my outdoor bush tomatoes today- can't see the flowers have much time to ripen into fruit now.
Having said that, we'll proably have an Indian summr now!

I usually pinch mine out at five or six trusses. Having said that, as an experiment I'm letting a couple grow and they are heading towards the apex of the greenhouse!

I have just pinched out my outdoor ones as they are mostly cordon type and have reached the top of the pole that I have tied them to.
My indoor ones will grow over the path and I will not be stopping them for quite a while.
