I am currently growing currant tomatoes in the GH. The plant is loaded with blooms and has quite a few tiny tomatoes on it. I am providing no extra lighting but I do realize the days will continue to grow shorter till the winter solstice ~ December 22nd. Then, they will grow longer again ~ yea!

If you try to grow them ( and I will encourage you to experiment ) be sure to shake the tomato plants to encourage self pollination. Also continue to gently fertilize. I think you will find they won't require as much water when growing in these conditions.

They may not be as bountiful as if they were grown in the summer outdoors but then it isn't summer outdoors. A tomato at this time of year will be savored. Kristi
