Hi :) .... 80f is an optimum temp , As long as you can keep it under about 85 your all good , As long as your plants have adequate supplies of water and a good air cuiculation .

The plants function best in moderate temperatures - between 60 and 85 degrees.

If your worried about it being to high you can just drop a cople of 2ltr frozen water bottles near the air intake ... But i think 80 f is just about right ?

What stage are you plants at ?

Yeah 80 is right about max, if you're using co2 than 85 is max. Im also having trouble keeping mine below 90 :(

Will probably have to get a portable AC

I am from the VERY deep south and our temps have recently been in the upper 90's, and soon to be 100+. I run a 4x2x5 tent with a 250hps cool tube, the room the tent is in keeps an ambient of 77 to 79, the tent during lights on is 80 to 87. I run a 170cfm fan w/carbon filter that is ducted into the ceiling. Inside the tent I have one 9" floor fan, and two 6" clip on fans above the canopy that keeps the air moving nicely. I was using my 400w dual arc but temps went to 94, so just swapped out for my 250hps. I have a local friend that has been growing for years, and his temps run 88 to 95 with no noticable issues for him, and he has some of the best smoke. I was originally worried about my temps, but once I seen his temps I stopped stressing.
