Default Indoor tomatoes - keeping the plants compact ?

The only thing is for me, at least, is that the growing season is short
enough without side shoots growing and taking energy to make new tomatoes
which probably will not ripen.
I allow 5 trusses per plant, and that is risky.


When the five or whatever trusses(grown vertically under glass) have
fruited - I try training side shouts horizontally (one per plant).
The fruit is not as big but one can easily get another five or so trusses
before jack frost attacks.(November time - I use no heating)
