Brad,
warmed water is done in areas that are cooler and it takes all day to warm
the soil and then you blast it with cold water you have just dropped the
soil temp..............plus others claim that cold shocks the
plant.........Here in Ca.....if its 95 to 100 out your wouldn't want to add
to that heat....you would want to cool it a bit.........so its
regional.........those that do warm their water seem to put in a barrel and
let it warm in the day sun and take the edge of the
chill..................Chris Anderson from Ca...didn,t warm his water and
popped his 977......but those in cooler climates swear by
it..............hope this helps....Brock
