Number of trusses?

I often do double stemmed cordons in the GH, they will usually grow similar amount of trusses as the main one, though I start it as low down as possible.

I don't stop my plants either.

If the fruit yield is similar, why do you intentionally go for double stems?

Similar on each stem - so double the fruit per plant? Each stem will still make the same number of trusses and if I'm really daring and prepared to feed well and have 3 stems I get 3 times the fruit from the same plant without using up a huge amount of space - much better use of space than growing 3 plants.

Understood.  Sounds like a great plan.  Note to self: feed the dual stemmed plants well.

Some photos - I know I 'll be hoping for 2 or 3 stems per plant so early on I'll look out for a small armpit, those stay. When I plant in they go really deep so that both stems are under ground - so I can't really tell which one was the main stem.

   

As I plant deep the first truss will generally be just half a dozen so inches off the ground - helps with height restrictions in the GH, but also all the stems underground will push out more roots.

   

Each stem has grown the first truss at similar heights.

The 2nd truss on both stems are again in a similar position.

   

So on this plant at the moment each stem has already got 5 trusses each - so 10 trusses on the plant have already set.
