I am struggling to keep my temps down and the humidity i have a digital ballast with a 450w and 600w setting my babies have been in flower for three weeks and are looking spot on. My question is do you think i could turn the ballast down to the 450w setting to control the heat and humidity issue?

84f sounds fine to me...i've had temps in the low 90's for short periods (hours) and it didn't visibly affect the girls....i've never checked my humidity but 66 sounds kinda high. my room is vented from and exhausted to the outside air and i change my lights on in summer to at night when it's cooler, too late now to adjust your timing but for future grows it's good practice. If you want to change your temp/humidity i would try everything else first before turning the light down.....like fans, do you have an air cooled hood? if you dont and can afford it they make a HUGE difference.
I don't have a cooled hood just an 8inch rvk fan hooked up to a carbon filter and an inline fan thats a relief about the temps thanks j2500 i will grab a cooled hood for the next project. This is only my second grow and living in Scotland we don't usually get these kind of temps lol.
