My therory is to sucker tomatoes. You may get fewer tomatoes but they will be bigger. When the main stem is a foot or so off the ground I will pick out a nice healthy sucker or maybe two and let them grow just like the main part of the plant. From then on through the season I will keep all the suckers cut off. If you catch them when they are small you can just break them off with your fingers. Good luck.
