Your best bets for indoor winter growing will be micro tomatoes such as
Red robin, tiny Tim, Aztek, Venus, many others.
They grow to be less than about 12” at full maturity and therefore can be grown fairly easily under lights indoors.

Google micro tomatoes. Do a search here regarding growing micros indoors, you will find a lot of info and ideas.
There will be an album on northern gardener called
The “ short and sweet” tomato project which will show photos and information about some indoor growing this winter of some new F2 crosses
Of mine.
It’s fun to try and the best way to learn.

Please check the above link about growing tomato indoors in the winter, aka over wintering plants.

And read the FIRST link which is about same from Tomatoville.

Just trying again to get it right since I knew darn well there were previous threads here about same.

I tickle the blossoms with a battery powered electric toothbrush so the tomatoes don't come out retarded.Without bees that is another factor to consider when growing indoors.
