New grow show. Scrog with CFL's. Need input!

[jdsoil]

Hi everyone!
Been trying to get get some good buds going since June. My first attempt withered away 2 weeks into flowering because of a mishap with a home recipe for insect control. I had a favorite plant that I took a clone from and now am back into the swing of things.
After the clone started taking off I let it veg for 6 weeks under a 2x4ft screen. I was concerned about the plant getting pot bound in its 3.5 gal pot so I switched it into flower when the screen was about 50% full. After the stretch it looks like the screen is about 70% full. It is now into week 3 of flowering and it is looking wonderful with about 150 bud sites 1/2in-4in tall. The plant was really quick to get into flowering and is already showing lots of flower production.
Do the buds get taller through flowering or do they stay the same height after the "stretch"???
The setup is a basement storage room grow with 18-23 watt cfls. Heat is an issue, gets to be 85+ sometimes but no apparent change in plant behavior.
Should I make the higher temps an issue or just keep things as they are? What are the drawback of high heat in flowering?
Any input would be wonderful!!!

looks great. If your able to get the temps down your plants would appreciate it more. Ive noticed my plants slow down growth when it gets to be too hot.

Yeah I got to do some brainstorming but better ventilation is the next task at hand. I want them to grow as best as possible.

thanks goldengraham, I think my plant doesn't stretch much, either strain type or maybe lack of light...maybe even my higher temps... I have only noticed maybe a two inch increase over the last two weeks. wa wa waaaaaa!
