A very beautiful plant to behold. Have you ever considered using a large clear tote of water as a source of free heat at night? Given the abundant sunshine you have there you should be able to get a decent amount of heat stored in the day to radiate at night. I have solar hot water heating for domestic hot water use and it’s amazing how much free boiling hot water you can get on a sunny day and store in a hot water tank. Adding some plumbing pipes with a circulation pump (sort of like you did to thaw your soil with free hot air) you might be able to achieve similar results and be closer to a net zero energy usage for your grow. Just a thought as you seem pretty handy and into using what Mother Nature provides to you for free.
