Depends on how much you want to spend but a simple and easy route is a electric heater with a fan hooked to a thermostats like this
https://www.amazon.com/Lux-Automatic-Programmable-Thermostat-Compatible/dp/B000E7NYY8
Check all the panels to see how well they are sealed and consider heat mates for under the pots to keep the roots from getting to cold. You can also put down normal mats to insulate the cold from the brick floor.

You might want to add a small second fan just to make sure you have a good circulation of air moving and don’t get any cold or hot spots.
Hi, your gh is just like one of my first. Here is what worked for me and is still working but slightly modified with my 16 foot gh.
Considering where you are, passive solar heating is a must for pots that will be on the ground. Easy to make .. just take 2 ltr bottles, paint matte black and fill with water. Lay them on their sides and put pots on top of them.
Next get a forced fan milkhouse heater, portable thermostat and either a small box fan or oscillating fan. Here is a link for the thermostat:
Portable Thermostat
Make sure you put the thermostat on the ground. I set mine to start the heater when the temperature got below 45°. The fan will circulate the air - keep the fan on 24-7.
Here is another link to the set up and also how I used the bottles for passive solar heating:

Be advised that you are going to have an algae problem if you use the bubble wrap.
thanks, very much appreciated. If you don't mind taking a look, does something like this look correct so far to wire this up to the home outlet and remote access?
Greenhouse motor ,will need to run two of these
Power supply should probably be double the amp to run two of them?
LED Power Supply Adapter 24V 10A - 240W AC/DC Power Adapter Transformer
DPDT relay:
10 amp DPDT relay
wifi control:
stinkbird temperature control wifi outlet ( I already own this)
My assumption
toggling the wifi outlet on/off (by temperature or my phone app ) will flip the polarity at the relay(motor goes up or down)
I'm unsure how the wifi outlet connects to the relay, can you just wire an appliance plug directly to the relay? The wifi outlet part would then not be behind any sort of power supply/converter if that makes sense.
Also any recommendations on where/how to properly shop this hardware, for example maybe this "LED power supply" might not be exactly right.
thanks, don't mean to hit you up with a huge message. I'm realizing now this is more an electronics topic.
I just took a look at your post history and it looks like you are in Newfoundland, CA?
I think your best bet is leafy greens. The leaf arrives before flowers, fruits and seeds, so is a safer option than most. Many greens will grow while there is enough sun and then stop, but will not die in a greenhouse and so can still be harvested in December and January.
Here's a Mother Earth News article on winter hoophouse crops. If you are actually providing some supplemental heat you are way ahead of the game. If you've got twenty bucks to spare or have a good library, get a hold of Four Season Harvest by Eliot Coleman—a huge resource for winter growing.
You should be able to spot treat aphids with an insecticidal soap. Something like this (no affiliation with the company).
As with any new product always read the instructions completely but the soaps are pretty easy to use and you don't need to buy a lot of it.
here’s a couple of great links on amazon…
http://www.amazon.com/JAPAN-Bonsai-Tool-TinyGreen-Professional/dp/B00MGFB4Z2/ref=sr_1_cc_5?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1448936379&sr=1-5-catcorr&keywords=japanese+flower+shears
heavier duty ones: http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-M1065-Japanese-Flower-Scissors/dp/B001H1A2OK/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1448936417&sr=1-1&keywords=japanese+flower+shears&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011
And here’s a link to a website with the Tajika brand. Probably much better quality than the ones on amazon. http://shop.nalatanalata.com/collections/tajika
Hey OP, I'd also suggest you look at the book, "Grow a Little Fruit Tree". It's a super handy book and it shows you how to keep fruit trees of any variety really short! :) If you want to see any pages from the inside lemme know and I can snap some pictures for you when I get home tonight.
When I worked in a garden shop, we used Joyce Chen scissors to prune small plants. Made in Japan, lifetime warranty, dishwasher safe, and available in many supermarkets.
They cut very easily and cleanly. I enjoyed using them so much that I bought myself a couple pairs (after my boyfriend stole my first pair). The only thing I don't like is that they lack the spring action that pruners have, which makes them a bit tiring after repeated use; but for fine control, it's better to not have a spring, in my opinion.
Much like a boat, or an airplane, the original purchase price is only the beginning of the expenses. You have a lot more research ahead of you. Depending on where you plan on going with this, I'd suggest either Building Your Own Greenhouse, or So You Want To Start a Nursery.
I toured the author's greenhouse in the high mountains of CO. Pretty crazy to see bananas growing in a place that gets many feet of snow in the winter. https://www.amazon.com/Forest-Garden-Greenhouse-Design-Permaculture/dp/1603584269
I think it's called Spring Wire and Lock Channel. I have catalogs from a couple places in my area and I think their prices are much cheaper, but here's an Amazon example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BC4HAPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_-N2IAbF3219DN
the ball red books are not bad at all.

This is greenhouse.
This is heater.
well... if its getting cold in the porch it will get cold in there. that cover doesn't really insulate.
you should probably just get a small heater and heat the porch?
Buy this book.

Wiggle wire and locking channel. http://www.amazon.com/Wiggle-Channel-Greenhouse-Spring-U-Channel/dp/B01BC4HAPA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458595181&sr=8-3&keywords=wiggle+wire
Screw the locking channel to a 2x4 or other piece of wood then wiggle wire your poly film into the locking channel.
