A full spectrum light is what you need. Either that or get a combination of cool and hot florescent tubes. Although mine did fine lightwise in an east facing window in zone 7. But you'll need a big pot with good drainage and a lot of space because they sure do grow tall. Either that or maybe you could get one of the vine types. Good luck with your tomatoes.

TK, did you grow regular of patio tomatoes inside?. I can't imagine trying to grow regular sized tomatoes inside. The plants get so big.
Chilady, I don't know how much space you've got but maybe you should go with the patio variety. They make small tomatoes but it tastes good.

Chilady, do you have any pets?
Tomato leaves and the stems in particular are highly toxic to pets.

Deborah I have two cats and two dogs. But I am going to do it out on our sun porch. They are not allowed out there. I just hope it stays warm enough out there. I will have to see what happens. Thanks for letting me know they are toxic. I would have taken the plants inside the house if the porch doesn't turn out to be warm enough. And I wouldn't have really even thought about it being toxic.
