indeterminate will produce till the 1st frost, determinant produces all around the same time and then stops pretty much.
we do both on the farm, our indeterminate toms started flowering around june and were did not pick any flowers off we just let them do theri own thing, they produced for almost 3 months then frost killed them. now for determinate we did those in a hoop house and they have a shorter flower time, these flowered in about august and stopped in september they produce heavy and fast and then die. differetn varieties will bloom fast and longer and some will be slower and shorter. we dont prun at all on the farm to my knowledge.

I how ever do prune in my own garden, i prune while it is in veg and i take off about 10 suckers on each plant mainly from the under sides of them as they are smaller and dont make much fruit. all these are grown outdoors so i cant control when they flower.

hope that helps a bit, i just woke up to get ready for work so i hope this made sense

thx, but am so confused with the tomatoes cuz i don't get frost. am not sure if i should keep em or get new ones cuz they might get larger tomatoes . AL be trying determinate cuz ad have to worry less about pests when i don't have to take care of the plant for 3-5 months :)

unfortunately garden next year, i think i will be to busy any way though, i might do some stuff in my GH if i can.

i did how ever get 2 new clones today to grow out, not a huge grow or any thing but i needed to grow some pot again.
i got a journal started. im just using a small 200 watt cfl for veg and flower.
like i said just a small grow

003.jpgmy worm bin; 80 lbs. of vermicompost dug out of it. i put the red wrigglers in a into a pile of hot compost. next to it actually; i'm not a worm-killer. in the Spring, back in the bin they go. i also have a small bin in basement, to ensure a population to re-seed with; just in case the ones in pile don't make it thru winter. Happy Festivus to one an' all.

Hey there McPurple. Just thought I'd stop by and say Merry Christmas. Hope all is well up that way and you are enjoying your new bundle.
