No a heat lamp isn’t going to do anything for you.

To be able to do that you will need a very large, very well equipped greenhouse with artificial growing lights (they are expensive, and so is the electric cost, so are the nutrients, so these will be very high-priced berries, for sure). You will also need to keep bees inside your greenhouse or hand pollinate every flower. And, unless you are growing in a darkened area (a basement, closet, etc.) the natural light length will determine flowering and fruiting. In a darkened evironment, you c
