Too much heat?

My girls are in their 7th week of flowering and since the weather has gotten more seasonable outside down in the south, my closet seems to be getting much warmer than it used to. When we had temps in the 30s my closet even when the heat came on would only get to 80 max and it stayed that way throughout most of the grow, but now that temps have been consistently in the 50 range, my closet gets up to 90-95. Is this bad for flowering or can I just leave them be? What should I do for them? I have an air purifier that I can use to double as a fan if I angle it the right way. What do you experienced growers think? Will the heat speed up or slow down maturity.

heat will screw you. that is way too hot. find a way to cool it down if you can. an ac obviously works best and will help to keep your humidity low. Im about to battle that obstacle myself.

your at the top of what most would consider too hot. you ll want to try to vent out from the top to remove heat from the room, and vent in from the floor area to bring in cooler air. use an attenuable fan if possible, and use the airflow to regulate the room temps.

I have to set something up myself for my built closet grow. i plan to run a ceiling box fan, and vent to a roof vent, then draw air in from under my house where it is cooler. i ll use a floor vent with a closable shield on it, and use it to draft cool air in. the exhaust fan can then be run full tilt and adjust the floor vent for temps. should work out pretty well i think, but i may need to add an power attenuator (like an electricity volume control) to control the exhaust fan rpms.
i understand 78 to 85 should produce the best temp enviroment for flowering. with around a 30ish % humidity if im not mistaken.
