Plants grow best between 75 - 85 degrees fahrenheit, and temps above 95 wil inhibit flowering. When they are brand new, they like it a little warmer, 80 - 85 or so. Put your thermometer at the same height/level as your plants to get a good reading on temps. Get the light as close as possible while still staying between 75 - 85 degrees. Add ventilation as necessary. We can answer your questions about that too.
