I know there are other factors that will affect blonding. Yes, I have read all the HOW-TOS in this website. OK, now that's out of the way. What effect does water temperature has on blonding time? What temperature(high or low) will cause the extraction to blond too fast?

Indeed. Higher temperatures cause faster extraction, and thus early blonding, more intensity and more bitterness.
