Indoor tomato advice

FYI, the plants are in my S Facing top floor flat. We don't get much in
the
way of insects, so delicate pollination will have to be administered I
feel.
I planted a couple of old tomato seeds in each of 11 large-ish yogurt pots
with slits in the bases and old growbag soil.
That was in January and, having stood them in a growbag tray in my s-facing
bedroom, they (rather unexpectedly, I admit) started to grow.
To pollinate them I tapped the flowers as they appeared and now I am taking
about a dozen toms off the plants each day (that's an average of 1 tom off
each plant a day, not 11 per plant).
I haven't fed them at all, apart from watering them with rainwater from my
waterbutt.
I am just north of Cambridge, not that that matters as the plants are
indoors.
