no its its more acidic, hotter is referring to that, not to any temperature.

I think the hotter may refer to the nitrogen level. Many do recommend it, but in past searches all the experienced groweres did not recommend it for cubensis

Agreed, the "hotness" refers to the acidity, not the temperature of the poo. This is often-discussed in other types of grows.

I've always been let to believe that chicken shit is high in ammonia, which is borne out if you think about the biology of birds. They don't produce liquid urine as waste which keeps their weight down, good for flying. Their urea must therefore go into the poop they deposit, hence the obscenely high levels of ammonium nitrate. Just a thought.
