Posted this into another thread and it's been ignored, so I'll try
again.

Is it possible to grow Toms indoors year round? I don't have an ideal
spot, being a utility room that gets a bit of sun during the day. It
will be fairly warm as the combi sits in there.
I'm planning to give it a go with a few side shoots I've snipped off
lately, is it worth bothering - or shall I give up now?

Are they sensitive to light intensity and day length?
You may need broad spectrum artificial light to get them to grow well
through the winter.

I'd really only bother for the fun of it, and with only "a bit of sun
every day" I doubt if there'd be much fun. I took some through to
Christmas in a south-facing window six feet high and about six wide in
West Wales; but long before Christmas they'd definitely become a waste
of space. A better gardener than I, and fresher plants than I was
using, would have done a bit better, but I don't think anybody can do
very much good without a well-organized glass-house once summer's
gone.
