    Photosynthesis stops at around 30C and above for C3 plants, not just the stomata closing but the enzymes de nature as they get too hot.

    Night to day temps need to be about 10 degrees warmer in the day than the night, but they won't grow in the night.

    I thought there was an night-time chemical? process that was temperature dependent? Maybe I got that wrong though?

    Had to look that one up Kristen, seems they'll grow sightly if its humid, they can still uptake nutrients from the soil, so I got that bit wrong.
