Tomato Slow Growth, Heat or Fruiting?

achang89
10 years ago

The pace of the tomato top growth has slowed down quite a bit. I do not know if this is caused by the heat, or by the energy used to produce fruits?

Some of the plants I have are taller than 6' and I had to top pruned them. But some are still 4' and I hope they can continue to grow to top the 5' cage.
