How important is temperature in a hydroponic garden?

Temperature is crucial in a hydroponic garden as it directly affects plant growth, nutrient uptake, and overall health. Most plants thrive within specific temperature ranges, typically between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Deviations can lead to stress, stunted growth, or increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Maintaining optimal temperatures ensures efficient photosynthesis and robust plant development.
