My tomato plant. DWC grow.

Okay so, I failed to prune the "suckers" as needed...so I have what has basically become a Tomato bush LOL. I'm fine with that, i'm just not sure exactly how i'm going to control it and make easy nute changes haha.
Once it fruits once, is it safe to say I can trim back all but one "main" branch and simply start over, only with a mature plant? If I do this, I may do the vine technique...wrapping the plant around a set of 3 stakes or maybe use an LST approach linking zipties together.

Dry leaves & Yellow spots...oops!
The dry leaves seem to be anything from nutrients, heat, environment, how you look at them...`so I am not sure on that. The yellow honestly worries me a little more than the dryness.
I think my lamp is too close for one...I plan on lowering my plants later tonight, but I need some training help honestly. My tomato plant is huge, as I believe its indeterminate and I didn't pull suckers off as I should have haha. Oh well! I already have fruit so i'm going with it.
I'm running Flora Nutrients, and just switched to bloom. I had 1 night where I had to run clean water which I think is just fine, and then went to bloom nutrients straight away after that. The plant drooped a bit with the water only but perked back up with bloom nutrients and seem really healthy...just some dryness and yellowness. It stays ~85-90 in the closet but the water doesn't ever show signs of algae, so I don't think that's the case. Is there something I can do to try and cure the symptoms without buying hydro stuff? I don't have a shop nearby and a weeks wait may be detrimental, I don't know. Thanks for any and all help.

Well, this thing was too healthy and got far too out of control. I tried to pull it to do a full on nutrient change and well...the root ball wouldn't come through a SIX INCH HOLE!! The root mass was huuuuuuge. I loved it, but it was far too much. I found a hydro shop in pensacola while i'm down here and the guy got me hooked up on some MaxiGro and some MaxiMato nutrients to try out. I'm thinking I will like mixing dry nutrients into water rather than liquid nutrients. We'll see.
I also got some velcro type stuff and some scrog screen. i think with my pepper plants I will begin to train them just as practice once they get around 10 or 12 inches tall. The guy was super cool and had some great looking plants in his shop. Loads of lettuce.
