From what I've read on the subject......yes. if the roots are cold it does affect growth, however it affects are seen more in flowering than vegitive growth. I can't remember the optimum root temp off the top of my head.....but id say anywhere less than 60F would slow growth.

Ok......I was wrong. I looked it up and ed says its 72F is the optimal RZT. Root zone temperature | Cannabis Culture Magazine
