I've heard that you should strip most of the leaves off tomato plants so that all the energy goes to the fruit

There's apparently a knack to it, does anyone know what it is? I don't want to ruin my plants or risk disease from raw spots on the stems.

with tomatoes it's every other branch. start at the bottom. find the on that is flowering. the next branch up prune. do this, and watch out. big produce, and a lot of it.
Reply:if you do that then there wont be enough energy going into the friuts because it the chloroplasts in the leaves that cause the chemical reactions that create energy for the plant won't be there.
