  1. so im about to grow and a qestion came into mind, say i have a small heater that can thoughly heat a small room. should the air temperature be warm or can the pot itself be warm but ambient air be cooler? does warmth come into play when feeder roots are warm or is it that the plant itself that has to be warm? can some exeptions apply? its a small heater but say the heater was somewhat close to the pot and the soil is warm and around 70' ... does the stalk have to be warm as well?
    thanks all,
     
  2. The plant itself has a favourite range of temperatures, but if the root ball is kept warm, you can have the plant cooler than it would normally allow.

  3. for a cannabis plant to do all its functions ...of course the relative temp has to be warm ..so water in the soil can evapourate & the plant can feed & photosynthesize

    just try to keep the relative temp of the grow area steady at 27- 28 cel & try to drop it to 20 cel at night
