Naw, those temps are too high for your plant to grow...are you exhausting the hot air some how? You need to pull the hot air out of your grow area some how.

turn the fan around, have it blow air out of the area. look at basic setups. pull air out from the top, push/suck air in from the bottom(HEAT RISES). plants can veg at higher temps, but flowering requires a lower, steady temp

If you're not exhausting your hot air, you're always going to have heat issues unless you maybe look into LED's. Really, the hot air needs to come out of the grow area, and fresh air needs to be let in somehow...

i would have my fan blowing out air out of my airing cuboard but lets out to much light :/, my first plant seemed to be growing fine in the temps of 35-40 degrees until i overdosed it on nutes lol, its all trial and error for me at the moment

Well, other people have tried and error'd with temps at 40c, so why not learn from their mistakes? Good luck, find a way to exhaust the hot air or you'll probably have problems all the way through.

Is there some spare room in your grow box? if its letting out to much light with a fan make a wall to shield the exit from the light, lots of options to stop light exit/entering and a cheap exaust can be made for 10 bucks easy
