Growing F1's indoors during the winter

coYote · August 7, 2017

Hi all it's been a while since I've posted, but I have some questions for the more experienced minds of tomatoville. I've been working on some crosses and was wondering if you all think it's feasible to get fruit on indoor tomatoes from a F1? I seem to remember KarenO doing this with some of her F1's, but I can't seem to find the post. The tomatoes wouldn't have to taste good, just have to produce viable seeds. They would get a modest amount of natural light with some supplemental light from some high powered compact florescents.

If you folks do think it is feasible do you think it would be better to start the plants in the fall or wait until after winter starts as to make use of the increasing natural light?
