Excellent Point Bterz!
Cannabis plants, for the most part (some Indica strains from cold climates are acceptations), and on average prefer a warmer media culture to promote a healthy microbiotic environment for the roots to work with and grow through (absorb the soluble solids, ie Macro nutes and bacteria, literally eating the media, as the Microbiotic environment breaks down insolubles into solubles and creating bacteria that draw from inert minerals transferring them into a form of Macro bacteria that is easy for the plants to break down )..... Typically...... if the ambiant air temperature is 75-79 degrees F with a RH of 37-45% flux and wind speeds of 7-11 mph flux, transpiration and photosynthesis happens most rapidly and productively with the ambient media being 85-90% moisture level with an O2 level fluxing between 200-300 ppm and its ambient temperature 73-78 degrees F.... the temperature of the soil or media depending heavily on its contents and mass in relation to root mass, as Cannabis plants like to have a warmer temperature "buffer" with cooler inner media temperatures, such as 69-73 degrees F as compared to the buffer layer of 73-78, precisely why Hydro grower try to stay between 68-73 degrees F, slightly lower in the Res, it warms up a little in the media (i.e. hydroton, DWC container etc.)

I'll try again in a little
