Temperature
Indoors, proper temperature for most marijuana strains is between 70-80 degrees, but using carbon dioxide will allow you to grow in temperatures as high as 85 degrees. At night, the temperature can drop 10-15 degrees without harming the plant.
However, the temperature should never go very much below 60 degrees or above 90 degrees (even for short periods) or growth will slow down. If these extremes are exceeded for an extended amount of time, the plant may be permanently damaged or killed.
Outdoors, low temperatures at night are ok down to about 60 degrees, then they start to effect the growth in a big way. Mid 50's will cause mild shock and 40's will kill your plants with repeated exposure.
Keep your plants warm, especially the roots. Elevate pots if you think the ground is sucking the heat out of the roots. This is an issue if you have a slab or other type of cold floor.

I let my temps drop to the 50's and even lower a couple of weeks trying to get my plants to change color(didnt work lol) and I can say they didnt like it one bit but they all survived just fine. It seemed like when I raised the temps they got nute burn the next day. So Im pretty sure lower temps slows or even stops the intake of nutes.
