Hi there people, so I feel like I'm having some hearing issues, when my lights are off during the day I'm running around 74 defrees an when my lights are on I'm at 84 degrees. The temp in my place is set at 67 degrees, I feel it should be running a lot cooler in my grow. Any feed back would be awesome. Thank you

If 84 is the hottest its getting then I wouldn't worry too much. But for anyone to help a bit more we would need to know your grow area, fan size, lights, a picture of your space would also be awesome.

And where is your thermometer situated to measure your air temps?
I have one on the floor an one on top of the grow.

if its peaking out at 84 you should be fine unless you have a strain that cant take it.

Thoe temps
A) sound good for growing... ~70 for the soil and High 70's low 80's for air.
B) Sound reasonable. My environment is in he 50s-60s. My small 3x4x4 ft box has 1x300 watt LED and 6x~20 watt CFLs for additional lighting. Your's about the air temps I get from that set up (high seventies low 80's) which proportionally works ok as about right.
As long as you have good ventilation, decent CO2, and keep our humidity in check... you sound right on track.

Check temps in the middle, at the different areas around your canopy, which is the important thing.

I only ask that because its a common mistake for some folks to stick it right in direct light.
Looks like a reasonable set up. Again I wouldn't worry to much about 84degrees. If it were high 80s low 90s then you would have issues.

In the hindu region of Afghanistan the same plants your probably growing could grow in temps of 100F so I wouldn't worry about it mate.

Though, to be fair... the other factors are different there too. Those plants are acclimatized to that... and these may be used to (even genetically predisposed) to not do as well in that environment anymore...
But I dicker. I'm with you... these plants are hardier than most think... I think it's less about those temps and other things as variance... leading to stress...
Where are you exhausting the hot air?
You could use both 8" fans to exhaust, a passive intake is enough.

Yes in the picture you have it blowing upwards towards the light which is pushing it and mixing it with cool air below , one across the canopy , maybe small deskfan under canopy , also you got some space spread the plants out some I know there in drain tray but give some space helps air flow.
