It will probs speed myc growth, but contams also flourish at that temp range if you don't sterilize right.

Yes, that is quite high, and would most likely cause stalling and contam issues.
Try to keep it below 80F.....mid 70s is perfect.

They will most likely grow fast, but will most likely be hollow.
Cooler temps often yield denser, meatier fruits.

High temps increase myc growth but also contams....
The decision is yours

I began having contam issues when I moved my AC temp from 79 to 81 to save money on the power bill. Just 2 degrees made a huge difference

i used to cultivate cube cakes on this range, only shallow fruits, 1.5g dried average per cake! its my first time bulk and the tubs are still colonizing in this room but this is weird because cubes are used to hot weather!!

It isn't that cubes have trouble with the higher temps. Its that contams stop having trouble. Many contams are even more "tropical" loving than cubensis. Asprilligus and Trichdoerma being among them.

84*F ambient room temp is one thing but the inside of a tub or jar could be upwards of about 90*F which is not a good thing.
There are many other factors that are involved in the process other than temps. In the wild, they have access to endless fresh air. Hot, stale air is an anaerobic breeding ground for bacteria and as any experienced cultivator would know,that in that type of environment trich usually isn't too far behind.

I feel bad for you, I really do. If the ambient temp in your house is 84*F? I can't imagine what it's like when you use the oven or run your pc for 2 hours. I have window unit ac's and I try to do my pc runs as early in the morning or as late at night as I possibly can because running them during the day would make my rinky dink trailer very uncomfortable.

Get those temps into the low to mid 70s if you can. It's the optimal range.
That said I had my colonizing and fruiting tubs in the mid to highish 80s for a week and they did okay. No contamination, no stalling. The fruits seemed a bit more hollow. I love fruiting in the winter. High 60s/low 70s is my favorite. Timeline is a little slower, but your fruits end up dense.

yea its hot where i live...and i am used to it (kinda). and its way more appropriate to cultivate in winter than in summer here. i covered the window to block the sun...is it ok to run a fan while the tubs are still colonizing? maybe this will bring the temp. down a degree or two.

Keep the fan on opposite side of the room and don't have it pointed directly at them.

Yeah, keeping good temp range has been a challenge for me as well. Especially since cooling systems remove humidity from the air. Dialing in good temps and keeping high humidity takes a lot of attention and practice, but hey, it's part of the fun in this hobby.
