Is this enough ambient light to replace a 6500K light cycle?

Problem is that it gets in the 90's - is that too hot when fruiting?

Would it be safer to put a little bit further away from the window and use a 6500K bulb?

I would stick with the bulk.  90's is a bit high.

You want the temps, more or less, to be in the mid 70's.

There is plenty of FAE inside the house for the most part provided you mist and fan.

Move them further from the direct light coming in the window. All that energy is going into the box and staying there, heating it up like your car on a sunny day. 90F sounds like a breeding ground for bacteria.

OK, so if I move them further back out of the DIRECT light, will that ambient sunlight be good to NOT need a 6500k bulb over these?

sunlight will always work better than any kind of bulb but if it gets up to 90's that is much much much too hot.
