Everyone knows high water temps in a rez can be really bad. But what's the lowest temp you ever want your water to get? is 62 too low?

my water temps have been below 58 and ive had stunted growth but this also could be because my nite temp dropped to below 6c.. its frosty where i am at nights and im growing in my loft which doesnt help.. im 4 weeks into flowering and they look like there in there first week.. im gutted and was wondering if i got a heater and used it for the nxt 4 weeks would it make any difference or is the damage already done.??

It is a major contributor to the growth of all kinds of microbes in your res. Water temps in the 60s is your best bet, Certainly over 80 you are in danger.

will 1 tsp/gal of hydrogen peroxide kill microbes and help the water if its usually at a high temp?

do not use hydrogen peroxide if you have organic nutrients. Otherwise its a fine defense agains disease. In organics it will attack the beneficiary microbes.
