Fruiting temp concerns

Hi, nearly there with my BRF cakes. They are currently sitting in my shotgun fruiting chamber after being dunked and rolled around four days ago.
It's starting to get colder where I live. As a result the temperature happens to be as low as 17C (~62F) inside the chamber, mostly at night. I don't really have any way of heating it up (but I am open to suggestions).
How will this affect growth times and fruiting bodies? Is 62 too low? I have tried keeping as much heat in the room as possible, but is there any reason to be concerned?
Thank you Shroomery

Temperature drops at night are considered normal. We try to avoid this, but it happens in nature 62f is a little bit on the cooler side, but it shouldn't hurt anything. When you fruit in colder environments the fruits will be fatter and more dense. They may take a little longer to mature as well.

Thank you for the quick replies. How much slower will they fruit under those sorts of conditions? Slower by weeks?
When I get a bit more visual progress I'll be looking to post some pics, that's the only reason I ask.

A few more days to a week I would say, genetics plays a big role too.

That leaves me with a bit more faith. Growth seems non-existent in the FC but that may be because I'm checking and tending to them all the time. Really can't wait for them to flush. 
As the bodies will become more fatter and dense in colder conditions, what effect does this have on potency?

Potency is determined by genetics, not the environment.

As soon as two spores germinate, potency is written into the genetics, and from there can't really be altered. Trust me it'll all happen so fast, one minute you see your first pin and then you'll be picking that fucker before you know it.
