I always thought that the water temperature for plants should be around 78 degrees. I am finding my AreoGarden Harvest temperature greater than 85 degrees which I wouldn't think healthy. I am starting to notice some of the leaves on my Cherry Tomatoes wilting although the plants are fruiting.

I checked at 3 different gardens that I have recently started back up and the magic temperature.  20240916_172322 All the plants are doing great. If you grow is a long term you could possibly have roots slowing down your water flow. You could do and R and R (drain and refill) that would bring the temp down for awhile anyway. Seems like 85 is no problem. My lights are all as low as they go as I am starting new plants. Not sure how high you have your lights. |

My cherry tomato plants are in their 10th week and producing quite well. I only have two plants in a 6 slot Harvest. I am planing on a transplant to my larger totes very soon since the light is at its highest point and the plants nearly as tall. Thanks for you input.

I do know that herbs and lettuce prefer cooler water while peppers and tomatoes warmer but not hot.
Try putting the lights higher.
I am not a tomato grower so cant really help with that.
