Getting so close and then having everything fall apart really sucks!

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, this is just my opinion.
In your microclimate you know how long it takes for sweetheart to go from pup to flower just add 4 months or so to complete the cycle (harvest).
It's all about timing.
It seems to me you should grow sweetheart in a large pot (25 gallons) by separating a pup or starting a new plant at the right time of year, in doing so you can grow it 80% the first year, bring it inside for winter and then in the spring plant it outside in the ground.
Your technique of storing plants inside is very effective, as long as the plant has recovered from storage and grown 8 to 12 new leaves before it flowers you should be a able to achieve a good harvest.
Don't rely on good weather next winter, if it can be done you will be one of the first to prove it.
