You're welcome Jamie - best of luck and don't hesitate to ask anytime in the future.
I've only ever had problems with the weight of a truss of toms when growing beefsteak varieties or Black Russian (one of my faves) and I've tied the truss to one of the braces on the g/h eaves. But I have had a stem snap more than once due to the weight of toms when I used to use canes when I grew them outside and tied them to the canes - I'm not sure what the best answer is outside

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

okay pete thanks a lot. I'll keep going as I am and use more tomorite and hope for the best.
Appreciate the tip regarding the canes, do the trusses ever need supporting on their own ?
lets hope we have a good harvest haha.
thanks
