It certainly makes sense to me. I am wondering if even more significant fluctuations in temperature might be warranted, at least for the first 1-3 weeks or so, especially for species that thrive in locales where spring frosts might be encountered. Not that I really have any clue what the environmental conditions are in those parts of the world, but it might be worth a try.
