pinching blooms my situation

[Heidelberg]

I currently have a Paul Robeson, Anna Russian, and a Black Cherry each in a 17 gallon container on my balcony. I live in Phoenix. Last year I grew on the balcony with an overhang and after some difficulties got some sizable plants by letting them to hang over into more exposed sunlight. I was able to keep them alive through the winter by VERY carefully gathering them up and moving them inside the couple times we had frost.

They are currently slightly over one foot tall and still a bit leggy because they haven't grown into more direct sunlight yet. The Anna Russian has already started flowering. I am concerned because the plant is currently getting only 5 1/2 hours a day. Should I pinch these blooms off so the plant can get a better position before it becomes weakened by fruit at such a small size? I realize that people have asked this question before but I feel that my situation is unique.
