    What are you growing? Different plants like different temps.

    Its best to water first thing in the morning. If you do it during the day the heat from the sun can scorch your plants, if you do it in the evening the humidity may be too high and encourage fungal diseases.

    These are outdoor bedding plants, so its best to keep an even cool temp and avoid fluctuations. During the day I'd aim to keep it below 20 dec C and not let it get below 10 deg at night.
