Is this heat stress? Or is this normal?

Hey Everyone! First post!
So, this is my very first female grow! And it was just one seed! I’ve grown 7ft males just because that was my luck. Anyway here are my plant specs.
Current plant stage: Week 4 Flower
Bag seed
Strain: Either Sour Diesel or Grape Ape
Medium: Kellogs Organic garden/flower soil
Nutes, Co2: N/A, have never used feed. Only water
Water: PH and Filtered water
Current PH: 6.8
Light Sched: 12/12
Lights: Full sunTemps: pushing upper 90’s
Lights out: Well ventilated, weather stripped, lightproof closet. NO light leaks
DarkTemps: 75F, RH 40-50%

She looks to be vibrant and healthy, but with the heat, I’m worried she’s getting stressed.
Please see pics. Is this normal yellowing, or am I looking at heat stress? Throwing some frosty pics in as well.
Look forward to y’all help and answers. Thanks everyone!

once the plant goes into flower it sucks nitrogen from older fan leaves to create calyxes (buds) its normal. if i were you id give it some type of nutrients just to make happier but def not heat stress

Thanks @OGGanjaPatient...Nube question.
What should I give her? I really wanted to do ZERO nutes to be “organic” as possible (I know that’s not true organic, just never have used anything. Thanks again homie

To Op: I've heard/read the plant will stop growing after temps reach about 85°F or so... I believe its alot to do with the root zone though so by having a mulch on top of the soil can help alot... I stick a small meat thermometer into the side of my fabric pot and even when temps are 90 or so, 4 inches in from any side of my fabric pot is at least 15° cooler.. I would assume its the microclimate that surrounds the leaves too so not really positive. I will say you can get a shade cloth for the mid day when the sun reaches its hottest point for your growing area, or instead of putting in direct sun move to light shade during midday and move it back. Keep in mind you should have a plan, Once you start feeding and she really starts growing, you probably wont be able to and definitely wont want to be moving it twice a day.

As for your organic nutrients, vegetative stage will use more nitrogen so you can search for any organic top dress high in nitrogen and other essentials you may need. For example down to earths'bat guano or something. https://downtoearthfertilizer.com/products/single-ingredients/bat-guano/ That way you can add some on top as a top dressing, and also make a tea and/or foliar spray to get nitrogen to her quickly, the top dress should be good until you get to flower. Check out the organics forum.... Just dont get caught up in any bull shit hype from ANY company... learn about the soil food web... learn what happens in the woods naturally when all these plants grow huge with zero care from humans.. This plant did evolve by the way, we discovered, not invented it...After about 15+ years of growing probably more by now actually, I've found myself getting out of the way more and more... dont spend a bunch of some name brand nutrients, just learn for free and you'll see the ingredients are all around you for free. Good luck this year... sorry to the other dude for kinda being a dick, just teasing.

Cheers :peace:

The only way to do this is to grow your plants in living soil, that has been already amended with nutrients, and lots of it. But, even if you are using that, it’s still a good idea to top dress the soil with amendments and/or compost teas to keep the microbes in the soil active so they can continue breaking things down to make the nutrients accessible to the plants.
