Tomato growth cycle

Tomatoes alternate between puberty, chubby, and skinny cycles on a two week basis. If you observe closely, you will see one week, the chubby phase of putting out leaves, then the following week entering the skinny phase where the plant stretches and throws out a new fruit panicle. So phasing it every other week to be alternating between chubby and skinny, replacing the skinny every other time with a puberty. chubby|skinny|chubby|puberty|chubby|skinny|chubby|puberty and so forth.
