Can you hold that temp of no higher than 84 then your at the extreme but within specs. 85 and above is when you get into problems although i did pull off a grow at 88 degrees.

i would suggest keeping it under 78 unless u are running CO2.
what is that in there a dehumidifier? i bet that thing puts off some heat
how big are your exhaust fans in terms of cfm?

You can run higher temps but you need to move the air around more, and make sure you're bring in plenty of fresh air. My rooms been hanging close to 85 and everythings been gravy. Had some minor problems with heat stress and bleaching but that was because the light was too low. I changed over to 20/4 from 24/0 to combat midday heat, raised the light 4-5", and everything is thriving wonderfully.

84 really isn't bad but if you are a stickler you could put a piece of plexi glass between your plants and light and that will definately help you get it down in the 70's. The only thing that sucks is it makes your light less mobile but I have used it in all my boxes to get some big wattage in small spaces and IT WORKS!!!

replace your fans with 2 6 inch booster fans from home depot. THey run 30 bucks each and are rated at 250 cfm.
