Duh, no, regarding the temps. My upstairs room does not go from 54 to 92 in one day! The room tends to stay between 65-80, depending on the amount and intensity of sunlight. Overall, the places stay about the same, though the GH gets cooler of a night and on some days, much warmer for 6-8 hours. The humidity in the GH is much higher than upstairs; what effect that has I don't have a clue!

Seriously, the more energy, in the form of light, a plant receives, the more it would be expected to grow, if conditions are close to the same. The cooler night time temps in the GH may have a tiny bit of difference, but I don't think that much.

If I was take two identical plants, put them in the GH, leave one to get just natural light and have a LED light over the top of the other, I would expect the latter to do noticeably better.
