    Default Room Temp For NFT

    I have an NFT setup with the tamk heated to 20c in my loft ... the temp is dropping in this area .... How low can I let the air temp get before I require to add heating to the room? ... or does it matter about the air temp too much

    20 is ok.. Over 21 is danger zone.. 18/19 is optimal.. The lower the temps go the slower the plant grows or produces.. This is why people use chillers mate..

    Im interested in this also as im about to start my fist NFT grow. and like yourself the ambient temps around my grow area will start to drop due to its location.

    I was under the impression that so long as you keep the roots/rez at the correct temp then the Air temp shouldn't matter to much (within reason), but i have been unsuccessful in finding confirmation of this.

    No the air temp for the plants is important to optimize growth. 75-85 f is best
