There's a very easy way to double your tomatoes.
There is a great book called Organic Tomato Magic that can double your tomatoes by just following some simple rules. Here are two golden rules to help double your tomatoes and make them gorgeous.
1. It's the FRUIT that needs the sun-light, not the leaves. Yes, the leaves need sun-light too, but only in the early stages of the plant. Most people make a critical mistake when the plant reaches maturity, and let the leaves hog all the energy, not the fruit. This is why tomatoes taste sour, why the plant doesn't produce as many tomatoes is it can. You need to know how to groom tomato leaves and leaf branches, and you need to know how to do it properly, or you could do more harm than good.
2. Air Flow. When you have a big leafy bush of a tomato plant, the leaves restrict the vital flow of fresh air to the fruit. This isn't good for the tomatoes, and it's dangerous in colder climates, and a recipe for fungus disease - it's why so many people in colder climates lose plants to fungal diseases. To form incredible tomatoes, what the plant needs most of all is water and air. It needs water to create the tomatoes, and air to help it breathe!
Just like you breathe heavier when you're running or doing something difficult, the plant needs to breathe more when it's in the process of making fruit. It makes sense.
There's a great guide by Organic Tomato Magic to help you double your tomatoes.
