Default greenhouse tomato

Try changing the feed to high potash content now. such as Tomato fertiliser
or Phostrogen, dont forget plants need leaves for good growth.
Once a good set of tomatoes on first and second truss has been attained, the
lower leaves will become discloured and "warped" these can then be taken off
to allow light through to ripening tomatoes and allow plenty of air to
circulate. These leaves are of no more use to the plant as they have
completed their job.Otherwise there is no real benefit to defoliating a
plant for any other reason.

I have always grown my tomato plants outside but this year I had too
many plants so I thought that I would plant them in the greenhouse, they
love that and are growing away like mad, they have plenty of flowers
there but they seem to have a huge amount of leaves, can one have too
many leaves and if so what should I do about them or what did I do to
make them grow so much in the first place?
