my indoor 1000w hps grow was showing slow growth. outside is 32 degrees f.
Since I always get slow growth in winter. the inside garden temp is controlled around 75 deg. Finally I bought a titanium aquarium water heater. Its set for 82 degrees.
reduced my ppm to about 33 percent and increased my flood frequency to every 6 hrs lights on for vegging. (small clean pumice for medium) Within 3 days everything took off. my conclusion is that rootzone temps work very well when higher than canopy. If I were doing dwc, id keep water temp lower to keep more o2. But eeb n flow. Reseroir needs to be around 80. for max growth. cooler res temp seems to stunt some growth.
