I think your next move should be to find a way to cool that light and your room. High temps will slow growth and flowering and could cause harmful stress.

BTW - CO2 is only effective in a sealed room.

Happy growing :jointsmile:
This was what i was going to say. lol Bigtop knows what hes talking about for sure. The biggest thing i saw was that the light was so far away and like bigtopsfinn said the heat would be the cause. So, IMO id try and get cfl's to veg with. You can get a hook light and with 3 y splitters, you can keep your light about 2-3'' away from the light. This will keep the plant nodes tight and then when your ready to flower, id set up the light as bigtopsfinn suggested. Oh and some reflective stuff on the walls would help ya too. You could use the cfl hook light with your light to flower too, as i keep reading about the cross of light colors mixing can only help your yield. Dont get me wrong my man, as im new to growing inside, but read tons and have been coming across the mixing of light spectrum's.

But its a weed everyone says and they are very forgiving, so with a few mods here an there, you will get a great grow:thumbsup:
