Just a thought

Well, I was getting a glass of water today, and thinking about my upcoming grow, and ideas for it, when I got an idea. *lightbulb*

Well if roots grow more rapidly when they are warmer, then what if you watered your plants with water that luke warm?

The reason I thought of this, becuase in my situation I am going to have to premix all my nutrients for the entire grow, before I even start the grow. And I am going to have to leave them outside. They will be in the shade, but I imagine they will still get a bit warm. I was thinking of a way to keep the water cold, when I thought, whats the point of that? If I water the plants with water that is a bit luke warm, wouldnt it warm up the soil a bit, and get those roots working a bit harder?

Even if it turns out not to be benefical, do you guys see any bad things about watering your plants with luke warm water? I know the water is suppose to be room tempature, but what a bout just a tad bit warmer.

Just a thought, figured I would throw it out there.

Much Love growers <3

Good thought, lol . I always water with room temperature water, it absorbs better and there is no shock as with cold water.

ok well one thing i see if you leave the nuts out side is that the sun will try to grow alge, the same goes with in the pots to i think

i thought the root zone was supposed to be on the cool side (around 62-65F) - is that not right?

I read in several books and posts that 75 for hydroponics is the desired temp. However.......my babies are dying. So what the heck do I know? LOL

I would worry that warmer water might just invite some sort of mold or rot.
