    Tall, skinny plants VS short, thick dense plants

    what you can also do to keep the plants short and bushy is topping them or using LST. I would clone your plants and when they get 5 solid nodes top or FIM the plants. This will let the lower growth grow making ur plant more bushy than tall. I've never done LST but that involves bending the plant.

    Where do you measure temperature?

    you want the ambient temperature to be around 75-85 degrees. The plants can stand a much higher radiant temperature (direct heat from the lamp). I would say put it in the shade near your plants.

    One thing you can consider is changing the air flow ->-> hit the females first ->-> then the males ->-> then vent out of your area. Just something to consider.

    Cloning

    I would try raising the light to a like 10 inches or so. The clones don't really need much light to begin with because they need to focus their energy on root growth, rather than photosynthesis (I think thats how it spelled.). Hence less light.

    Cheap Air Condition substitute

    you could also use dry ice in the cooler. it would cool the area and add co2 to your grow room, which allows the plant to survive in higher temps.
