Varies from nothing to speak of to lots. Cool greenhse, very little, the high temp (min 68 or so night, day into the 80's-90's, almost what one gets outside in summer.
To generalise (VERY dangerous) heat is the big factor assuming (ass you and me) good light (and of course proper soil, fert, water, bug control).
Light is a tough one - some comments on this site, but to my knowledge little down in truly scientific terms of mols per, etc. and same goes for color for MUSA. Lots for plants in general, but depending on what one is growing, depends on light required, not to mention if one wants to regulate height, flowering, etc. Takes an expert :-) (not me). SO we just go with what nature provides along with all spectrum white to extend day length as days shorten adding from 1 to 4 hrs max in Dec..
Others are far more knowledgeable than me in this group - hopefully they can point one in the right direction for published material which might be relevant.
