New Grow Room Setup.

My wife and I ended up moving to a place were I had no attaic space and I also purchased a 600w MH Digi growlight. Due to all of this (New location + the heat from the lamp) I was forced to reconstruct my grow box from a closed unit to a partially reflective more open setup but honestly I like it better.

It needs a small AC unit or something. it gets hot and humid. I am pulling fresh air in from a hole in the shed by a blower fan from an inflatable xmas decoration. And venting it freely outside by another hole. Also I have a stove top vent fan system bolted on above the MH light.

Lights:
1- 125watt 2,700k Full Spec. CFL.
1- duel 19watt 6,500k Full Spec LED.
1- 14watt 2,700k Warm Spec. CFL.
1- 600watt 6,500k Full Spec Metal Halide Ipower fixture w/digital ballast.

My questions are...
Will temps at about 85°f ish hurt bud growing at 70 °f - 75°f. Also the humidity was very normal. But I am worried about herming them or killing them with heat. The MH fixture ussually stays @ 50% power. But im stilled worried with the heat from the light. And is the Cfl too close to them. The old store bought coil bulbs had to bed damn near touching but this is 125 wat compared to 10 watts lol.​

as long as you don't let the rh get too low, 85 is ok. anything over 85 is bad, and if it consistently stays over 85 you might need to think about that ac option

no, you can go down into the 50s, although i'd recommend no more than a 15 degree swing between high and low if you can, high of 85, low of about 70. people that grow purps and other colored strains drop the temps a lot at night, makes the colors come out, so it won't hurt a plant too bad if it gets cold now and then.
if you can keep your temps down in the 70s all the better, but up to 85 is ok

I am really surprised they havent stressed to herm already this was my first grow. They started in miracle grow. Switched the lighting constantly.( cool Cfl then warm added then back to cool and warm. With red blue leds and full spec warm and cool full spec. Led amd now take away all the cfls but the 2 largest warm bulbs added led then and a 600 wat 55,000 lumn mh fixture.) i cant imagin all the adding and removing of all the diffrent lights wouldnt stress the plants out on top of that this is the third time they have gone from AC to outside. (And now inside a shed outside the house lol). Just 4 days ago i had them sitting the sun and the reflector board that was sitting behind them fell over on them. Cracked some branches and i tied them . so hopfully they dont herm out
