You should be using a vented reflector with a good extraction fan. Your temps are too hot and a good hood/fan combo will bring temps down significantly. You want to shoot for 80 degrees.

Adding a cool tube and decent extraction fan, should bring your temps down significantly, and you got the added bonus of the cool tube having a built in reflector. Sorted!

made a big mistake and used my 1000 watt to get them to grow roots. they were protected from direct light though. so this baby i have, will be mommy to all my new girls. and those clippings will be put under some floresents

A reflector is a very wise investment. W/O one you are wasting a lot of light. Reflectors direct light that would normally go up and to the sides back down toward your plants where you want it. I wouldn't grow w/o one. Best of luck and welcome to RIU.
