I have grown Big Zacs and they are considered indeterminate. This variety tend to be more disease prone, so a feeding schedule is highly important. On Monday, I feed with seaweed as a foliar. On Wednesday, I crush all of my egg shells and work them around the base into the soil. If I run out, I use Biomin Calcium. On Friday, I use Nutri Aid Bloom Booster and Fruit Finisher. Remove all suckers periodically throughout the week and remove the lower branches with a clean cutting tool. Stake plant well and keep soil evening moist. Fruits need to be supported in order to not bend and break the vines. Fruits typically form in the mid-line near the main stalk. Hope this helps!
