Tomatoes - pinching out ?
 
'Jenny',

Pinching out ensures that you are in charge of production. This way
trusses will set and develop much more quickly because you are
concentrating their energies into production rather than having lots of
branches, masses of foliage, inferior and unripened fruits, which is
what you get if you let them grow wild.
