A sign your fruit is doing exactly what you want it to, sucking up everything in its path. Those other leaves look great, it's going to be a big one!

That baby going to have quite a circumference I figure? And removing a vine or 2 with plant like this one might help.

I thought the power comes from the plant behind the fruit, does this challenge my assumption? I'm curious. Maybe the sink is just working too well and there are no leftovers downstream. Interesting to think about

Mendi nicely proved they can backfeed 1,000 lbs. But yeah it's difficult to know what would improve that situation vs make it worse.

Ps The tomato plants often begin to look like that when "heavy with child". They just stuff all their extra nutrients into the "womb" with their offspring? It's like the mother plant is sacrificing herself. It's sort of noble and tragic. If this is true then the next most logical questions to ask are way above my head
