pH and tempature

Never had s problem with too much or not enough nuts until now. New basement 75f in the day and 57f at night. Checked soil pH and it was 7 but to look at the plants many diffencies. Do I have to change pH of water due to the cold

57F is a tad bit cold for indoor plants, particularly on a concrete floor because it also keeps your roots cooler in cold temps. We need pics to really diagnose further but I don't think you would have ph problems if it is 7. I wouldn't aim for it as the culprit anyways. Warm up your temps at night for starters. Cannabis tends to prefer a 10-15F temp drop at night from their daytime temps.

No problem just a question. I know what to do was just questioning if pH was related to tempature. Like if it's colder run a lower or higher pH. Or maybe it don't matter. Anyway the plants are on styrofoam. I have run a temporary duct from Central heating to the tent thru. Filter furnace. Next year things will back to normal. Full basement insulation will keep it warm. I have in the past thought about running his in the winter but until the move it wasn't cold enough

yes, but only in so far as temp determines saturation of dissolved O2.
So it would only effect the ph in a res

in dirt buffers keep the ph were it needs to be mostly

Interesting
It sounds like they’re getting too cold. At 57 degrees the plants are going dormant and the roots aren’t warming enough during the day. Thus the plants aren’t able to take up the nutrients like they should. If youre in soil don’t bother ph’ing the water the soil is capable of buffering itself just fine. You can in turn knock the natural ph of the soil off and end up with a shit storm. The only time you ph....... (granted this is my personal opinion from years of doing this on a semi professional basis) is if your running a hydro type medium.
if you would be so kind though to post pictures that would help more. But going by what you’ve given the plants are simply to cold to do they’re thing an are just stagnant and will most likely fail or turn out very poorly.
