Anyone know anything about required ambient temperatures for hydroponic gardening?

Was contemplating trying it in my basement, where the temperature is in the 50’s year around ... drifting up and down a few degrees with the seasons.

No I really don’t know about hydroponics. I would hazard a guess that your cool weather crops would do well.

Tomatoes have to have that temperature at night in order to do anything, but also I’d think that warmer in the day time would also be needed.

Again that’s just a guess.

Some plants are pickier about temperature than others. Tomatoes probably won’t do too well in that, but cooler-season vegetables like chard would do fine.
