Tempratures night cycle vs day cycle

[mushyman]

Hello everyone I am fairly new to indoors have always done outdoors my issue is it is winter time here and I am in flowering I just got my vivosun hygrometer and have noticed the temperature during day cycle is 23°c-24°c witch is fine but at night cycle the temperature drops anywhere to 8°c to 12°c is this huge drop in temp a issue or should i keep using my heater witch keeps the room at about 22.5°c lowest temp it goes thankyou

Thank you mate

too cold like 55 or less will affect nutrient uptake,..

I'd keep the heater running. 8-12C is too cold in flower, especially with a canopy already stacking like that. At those temps the root zone slows right down, nutrient uptake gets lazy, and the humidity jump at lights off can put moisture into the buds even if the daytime numbers look fine.

You don't have to hold it at 22.5C if power is the issue, but I wouldn't let it keep dropping into the low teens. Something around 18-21C lights off with steady airflow is a lot kinder. Also keep the heater from blowing straight on the plant or the pot, just warm the room/tent air.

Powers not a issue for me I have put the heater in front of the intake ducting to bring warm air in like you mentioned as I already figured it would be much more healthy for the plant instead of getting hotspots on the underside of parts of the canopy ,in moving the fan I have made a steady temp of 19°c with only warm air being taken in so happy with that one . And awesome thank you for the feedback on the root zone and nutrient uptake etc much appreciated
