I'm growing tomato plants under a high pressure sodium light. They are about
a month old, very healthy looking, and have just started to bloom. Despite
looking healthy much of the new branches are becoming very twisted and are
curling downwards. The leaves are fine, although the plants have some of the
biggest leaves I have ever seem on a tomato plant. I've heard that large
leaves has something to do with the plant being cold, as they are growing in
my basement. Could the twisted branches also be due to the cold or might it
be something else?

It does not sound like a problem due to the cold. It sounds like some
soil deficiency. The most likely problem is a Potassium deficiency. A
commercial fertilizer with a high end number (10-10-25) will fix that
problem. There are other deficiencies that can cause that type of
problem too but watering with liquid fertilizer should fix those
deficiencies too.
