that's an idea that roll in my head from some time so i want to ask to the comunity for any suggestion:
we grown for size like we do for pumkins but we terminate the grownt of tomatoes plants realy soon giving the possiblity to put size in some tomatoes(2/3) to a limited number of leaf.
the real monster come from the variety big zac because it have the tendency to form multiple /fasciated flowers that produce bigger fused tomatoes but the unsorpassed(at now) word record are from a realy big plants with just one fruit from the variety delicius(correct me if my imput are mistake)that soundme more soon to wath the pumpkins grower do with A.G.so leaving the use of big zac for the superflowers is not more "productive" to have bigger plants and just a single tomato that less leaf and 3/2 tomatoes?
i plan to try the two possibilities next spring side by side with my tomatoes, but i realy appreciate your comments and suggestion

The secret is in the blossom and in limiting the number of tomatoes per plant. It is a given that your plant will have to be well cared for. There are other things too but these are the main ones.
