are you pinching out the side shoots and feeding them regularly?

also how many plants have you got per grow bag? i wouldn't recommend any more than two if you want a decent crop :)

[cactikid]

i presume he is growing the upright variety,like money maker ,correct all side shoots need removing unless it is a cherry bush tomato as you leave them on,tom thump.sunrise etc.
