Probably 99% of the people that have been doing this (indoor) for awhile use hps for flowering. Reason? It's the best at this point in time. Use it and the closer you can get it without it burning your plants the better.

Good is 16-18" from the top and normal is more like 18-24"

wow that is great temps...mine were pretty good, but my AC unit is on the Fritz...
I fighti9n' high eighties, but I've got the fansss going. Just watch them with that 1000w hps! Great light, but if you get it too close and don't watch them, brother, you will get in trouble fast...Use this as a rule of thumb; When you get comfortable and you think you got it just right, go check them. just kidding, not really though.
have a good grow and good luck...
