Do you want to keep them a manageable height under the lights? The problem with restricting non-bush variety plants is that you also restrict your potential crop.
I thought you were supposed to pinch out the tip to encourage them to bush out and produce more fruit.
Ah! There we go. There's always someone who knows!
