Re: To much Heat.
Sometimes it will make them hermie if you can keep them alive. I just shut down my grow in the summer because the temps just get too high and I don't feel like buying an AC unit to keep the temps down. T5's help a little but any light source produces heat. You could also try one of the watercooled fixtures designed for hps to try and keep temps down. Here in Washington you can't legally grow outside otherwise I would do that.

Heat will stop growth the a halt. 90 degrees is way too hot for your plants to grow.
You need to fix your ventilation, do you have cool air (from outside) coming in? Along with hot air being pumped out (outside if possible)?

What kind of grow house do you use, lights or cooling for the lights? I live in New Mexico and I had let the dark time be during the day to reduce the heat and lights on at night when it's cooler. Then I broke down and bought a small portable A/C unit and all is well.
