So bloom has no stem, and is being curled around ! It’s a mess , should I cut it at the growth tip above it ? Or just below the bloom ? It’s 2/3 of the main ! And go with the other 1/3 for the new main to the left ? Plenty of nitrogen to work with here ! If so do I corterize it with rubbing alcohol or bleach ? Any suggestions and thanks, it’s the last entry on my diary !

I would advise you to wait for the tomato specialists before you cut it.

Yikes! Yes, tough decision. It’s not in a good position. I’d pollinate it the best I could and see what happens. They usually don’t do well growing into the stem like that. I’ve had ones like that, and as the tomato grows I slowly force it to one side or the other and use props like foam to hold it. I’d just see what happens with it, you might be surprised. Chalk it up as a learning experience either way.
