I'd like to try and see it CAN be done, but looking for advice from someone who
has done it.
I have a nice 400w HPS and MH lamp and a great place to grow -- would like to
try some tomatoes indoors this winter.
Specifically, what I'd really like to know are the easiest varieties for these
these conditions -- something medium size, not timy tim's or any cherry tomatoes.
Any help? Thank you.

Look for a variety called "Patio". Good luck, you'll need it. :-)

The environment inside a house in winter is very much different compared to
outside in the summer. Humans adapt by adding/shedding clothes and your
eyes adapt to the light conditions. You have to get the temperature high
enough as well as getting enough light. Also many bugs, fungi and other
pests thrive indoors. It is going to be a challenge if you want good fruit
and probably consume quite a bit of electricity.

Grow some marijuana to go with it. It is much more profitable, and even if
the tomatos don't turn out right, you won't care. ;-) Lots of states are
allowing now for home growers. And if you already have the stuff

PS: The secret is getting good seeds. Or so I have been
told...............
