Look into photorespiration and it might change your mind on running high temperatures, especially in flower...
A lot of that high temp talk started when LEDs became really mainstream and companies like blackdogled recommended 86 °F temps in flower for less HVAC (Air Conditioning). It's a sales pitch I doubt it's in your plants best interest.
Big buds are going to happen with the right genetics even if your room is cold. Lighting, Environment (temp, humidity, airflow, co2 etc) and proper rootzone pH & Nutrition is going to play a huge role. If you want to sift through the bro-science look into c3 plants mode of action, it will explain that the enzymatic processes and photosynthesis occurs best within the range of 68-75 °F or something like that.

Fair points. Time will tell and I'll let you know if the results stink once this grow is done.
For now, I'm keeping my ladies in the 80-84f range. I also strictly control fert schedule, CO2, etc.
What the bro science suggests regarding flower is that the higher temps and strong light power should only last a few weeks. That during peak flower growth (est weeks 3-6 of this phase).
Its also suggested that light power and temps be reduced the final 3/4 weeks of flower to allow the chemistry to finish up with less stress.
This is my first time trying this so called bro science. Will let you know if it doesn't work out well.

Triple D bud size, you trying to grow a porn star? 
Just focus on growing good weed, the plants gonna do what it's gonna do. Giant colas look cool, but the juice ain't worth the squeeze.

Triple Ds... it got your attention ehh? hahaTriple D bud size, you trying to grow a porn star?
Yeah, I find my ladies very attractive.
This entire line of thinking only started when feminized seeds became common.
