Digging through the mess. Just observing and taking notes. The group of 6.25 plants, which I also never thinned, had one standout plant. But it wasnt one of the ones that had a good first truss mega.
My conclusion is that some of the success is genetic, but that the genetics are mostly luck. Probably the fattest tomatoes have recessive genetics that make them fatter. As with pumpkins it's not easy to isolate any one gene. But there were also plants that had both fat and normal tomatoes on the same plant. So even with the correct genetics, if anything "goes wrong" with the environment then they also might not reach their potential.
