giving plants cold vs warm water?

[del taco lover]

is there any difference in giving plants cold vs warm water? or water at room temp?

Towards the end of flowering if you give your plants cold water it sometimes turns the buds purple due to shock. Other than that i would just give it room temp.

I keep my water jugs in the room with my plants just so it's the same temp as the plants....

my watering cans are kept ontop of my veg tent so are always just under luke warm, and my plants seem to have noooooo trouble with it too cold and you'll shock em

Ever stand outside in a "warm" rain???

I have proven with several experiments that plants work harder and produce more with cold water ph'd to match that of rain, it's in my grow journal

i've stood warm rain thousands upon thousands of times.....

I've used ice to water many times with no ill affects. For one it lets the water soak into the soil much slower.
The melted ice water warms as it goes down into the soil.

that actually sounds like a really good watering method! mix up your feed, into the freezer, then place on a mesh above the soil in the monring (this is assuming that ice cold water really isn't that abd for your plants, in that maybe it could help hermying etc, i don't honestly know)

I do know leaving your tap water out over night allows chlorine and other nasty's to evaporate!

I like to keep mine the same temp as the floor of my growroom, same as the soil temp.
