Increase the airflow through the room to reduce the temps, but consider replacing the reflector with a horizontal type.

28-30 will give you stretchy plants with thin, spongy buds. The buds will 'bolt' or 'run,' giving you thin strands of bud material where you should have a nice dense top cola. You're looking to keep temps around 24-26.5, 27max.

i would just like to point out,the 2 plants in the pics were both grown in ridiculous temperatures,at best they were 85 and at worst they regularly reached 110,no stretchy buds or thin strands there,though there was a fan blowing over them at all times with an open window next to the wardrobe they grow in,

in my opinion the temperature isn't too important providing you have a good supply of cool clean fresh air blowing over your plants,but that's just my opinion,i'm sure others will disagree

i'm on my 4th grow now and temps aint really much better,but i'm not about to stop growing because of it,fuck i'm averaging 4 oz per plant,i'm sure i could do better but i've seen a lot worse
