When do you choose the final tomato on the plant (how many days after pollination)?

Do you prune your plants pre pollination?

Theories on BER and what would you suggest to prevent it?

What is your fertilizing schedule once you have the chosen fruit set?

Tomato Qs:

1. Did any of you guys use grafting to grow your heaviest tomato? If so, can you describe your technique and share what root stock was used?

2. Do you have any techniques/tricks to delay/slow ripening while allowing the fruit to continue growing?

3. I had mighty BER issues last season. Typically related to the first or second truss fruit. Plenty of calcium in the soil, soil moisture levels were closely monitored and optimized. Do you have techniques/tricks to help minimize BER.
