Indoor grow too cold?

Everything I'm reading says LED temps should be mid 80s.
Mine doesn't even hit that?
I have a 4x4, 2 Spider Farmer S1000 (both dialed up to max wattage draw from the wall), 2 100cfm intake fans, an oscillating fan and humidifier and I vent through ducting to a completely separate room in my basement.
I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada - so fall is coming, but it's still nice and warm daytime.
My girls seem to be thriving, I just want to optimize my yields.
The left is Nothern Lights (auto, Sativa), right is LSD (auto, Indica), and back is Gorilla Glue# 4 (hybrid)

When I run my upstairs grow during the winter, my fan controller will not vent the room unless the temp or humidity exceeds set points.
That works well for me as long as the lung room temps are 10 deg cooler than what I want the room to run at.
Perhaps a similar controller to limit how often the exhaust operates.

I'm having trouble with this kind of thing atm. Do I exhaust more to keep humidity down but also keeps my temp quite low? Stuck between a rock and a hard place

If that's the case, a small space heater is in your future.

Add a 315 cmh in the middle, but seriously when temps start dropping for winter adding more light has always been my go to. It helps yield and if tents In the house it acts like a space heater for the house. If night time temps is more of the concern you can add another tent and run them on opposite schedule. Space heaters are usually about 1500 watts, so why not use that electric for more grow space and the heat it produces vs just the heat with a space heater.

Exactly what I used in my first indoor 4x4 grow. 2 SF 1000s and 1 3100k 315 CMH. Couldn't of been happier with the results.
