Let the tip grow. Pinch out the suckers, which are new shoots that emerge between the forked branches. Do not feed the plant with a high nitrogen fertilizer because that promotes a lot of green growth. You want to encourage the plant to produce blossoms , so use a "bloom booster" for tomatoes type fertilizer.

Pinch branch tips throughout the growing season to encourage tomato plants to grow bushy and full. Remove only the last set of two leaves, including the stem, each time you pinch a branch.

first thing is to take off ALL lower water leaves, they are taking nutrients away from the plant.
