Thanks GreenDragon,
I was expecting and hoping you would chime in here.
All that being said, this seems like a good time to put another statement I have read other members here make but have not read anything to back that up:
Mixing nutes up in warm water first then adding them to your reservoir.
If one takes the information you presented below at face value, then we have negated the need to mix up nutes in warm water first before adding them to the reservoir.
I have never done that myself. I mix them up according to the label and add them individually to the reservoir, then stir after they are all in there.
I dont know where that advice started but it would then seem if the water temp is within a certain range, in your case 60-65 , that would have no effect on the plants ability to absorb nutes, but would actually increase the plants ability to do so.
