@Ponky do u use a carbon filter/tent? Im curious for the passive intake do I have to keep the inline fan on 24/7
I run continuous air intake. And continuous exhaust. Only when the intake air temperature is suitable. When it's cold the intake air is set with a thermostat. And keeps the temp up at 77. More air movement and refreshment the better. I use furnace filter to filter my intake air. HEPA ones. 12 pack is like 100 bucks.
Each setup is unique.

I wouldn't use a space heater. And wouldn't go to 79 degrees. Overnight temperature of 68 degrees is important. The light is the heat source during the night. And if the tent is inside during the day you don't need to add a heater.

The temps are like 70-72 at lights on because my central air would u use the heater put it on like 75?

No. If you have central air it's perfect. You don't need to do anything. Just let the tent breathe. Let the light provide the heat at the canopy surface. A heater is hundreds of watts..watts that could be light. Light makes the weight.
So temp doesnt speed it up

It can... but you want the heat to be produced by a light. Because you can just out a thermostat on the intake fan and set it to your desired temperature. If the temp doesn't reach 77 or so. Add more light. A heater in an air conditioned house is the wrong move.

Correct, higher temps don't speed it up, NO. They can slow it down actually. You want optimum temps during daytime around 70-75 and during flowering it can go a bit higher. Once you hit temps above 85f, your plant growth really falls off.

Aqua would probably know the ideal leaf temps during the day, but during nights, you want to be 5-10 f cooler, The cold/warm cycles are very good for plants. I would think Sativa's can tolerate the over-heat a little better, and Indica's tolerate cool more.

Ideal leaf temps, I would think should be right around 75-77 f, but below the canopy it stays cooler, especially next to the root zone. That's why it's important to have those cooling cycles, so that the plant can cool down from sitting in the warm sunlight. It's resetting itself, and has evolved this way, natrually.

It will also provide the plant with more stress resistance.
