I don’t use any fans and just let Mother Nature do her thing. I lost a lot 2 years ago to mold and bugs, just a bad outdoor year overall for everything. Even my mom and sisters veggie gardens struggled, but we had heat and mugginess into-late Sept/Mid Oct. that’s what really screwed me and my plants
Also do you have the branches pulled out a bit with the wire. Seems like that would be great for allowing airflow and sun hitting all spots.
Yeah Mother Nature can be a bitch though, I’m trying to add a little humanity power!
I think I let it grow 5 nodes, topped, and I just kept pulling them back with the wire too about the 3rd or 4th node of the limb, topped and just let those inner nodes grow upwards from there. The inners grew tall and strong because of the great light exposure to the entire plant. So limbs were connected to the tomato cage with the wire to keep them in place and help train out the new growing limbs from the ones I had stretched outwards
That was so well said and explained, thank you. Been looking for a simple technique that works. if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the average yield per plant for you?
I would say between 900-1200g, but that‘s with starting from seed last week of April or beginning of May. Next year I hope to start a month earlier than that and increase my overall production for outside. Here’s another pic of the Black Domina, and you can see some of the training I did when you zoom in a bit
