Thinking your going to have to vent the hot air from the hood away from your grow space,assuming your hood is enclosed. If its not, a new hood is not all that expensive. Since its your own house, you can run your flexible ductwork wherever you want. Install an inline fan. Good luck

the most ya want is it to be 85 in there. anything higher and youll need c02 to open the stomata. or pores.
below 55 and photosynthesis stops and your pushing it above 85f. and basically youll be stressing the plant.
really not sure what temp as far as being hot will stop growth.

you don't want it at 85, you can look at it this way, every degree over 76 brings down 10% of production.... at 85 you would be getting 10% of your maximum production? Come on, you want to be no higher than 78, and no lower than 72, a nice fluctuating average of 75-76
