Wife and I are competing with hydroponic tomatoes. Mine are on the left, hers in the right. Both are fruiting.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Something like that.
She wanted them to get taller, so she trimmed the sides of all her plants off. I told her that's a bad idea, and asked her to leave the ones on the left to me.
I opted for more bushy plants, so I kept the tops trimmed so it would grow more outward. Now I need to keep up to ensure the plant gets all the light it needs as the bushy part moves outward.
Its fun. Its something to do. We both enjoy it and it makes us happy.
Careful buddy, I'm kinda thinking this is pretty neat. We're here to be dull.
Post the results though. I would've done what you did based on my previous experience growing herbs indoors. But I've never grow fruit so idk if that type of pruning would be best for producing fruit.
If that's hydro are you able to lift the plants up and post root pics.
