It's ideal temp with the plant.. the source of light is irrelevant. It's about efficacy of enzymes. At 43-45C enzymes denature. 30C is fine. 27-28C might be better for ambeint co2 and you can push above 30C with added co2 a little bit. Your vpd with 65% RH is about 1.5. If 30C is the room temp, then the leaf temp is 2C cooler, which brings the vpd down to 1.32 which is fine for bloom and slightly high for vege, but won't be a big deal. So, if that's how it averaged out, that's great. These graps are based on a fairly low "ambient co2" most households and apartments are a bit higher than 300-400ppm. Think they are up around 600, typically, so 28C is possibly closer to ideal than 28C. VPD is the primary factor behind how much your plant drinks per day. The RH and temps at the leaf surface equate to VPD, not the measurement from wider atmosphere. If the canopy is still growing, expect RH to rise a bit. The curve levels out after that point and takes a quick nosedive, so best not to go over. Can see this on numerous graphs in any image search: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=temperature+rate+of+photosynthesis&iax=images&ia=images -- where the plant evolved will impact that a bit.. some graphs show as high as 35C https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fo.quizlet.com%2F7Q81-d7fy36PMZcMw5FlWw.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=5bfe84e6628a1cc81d49ebd9e20fd3af7196e51d1e2d4d91228c019ac24528b5&ipo=images - there is a cool one with varying levels of co2... what it doesn't show is that somewhere around 43-45C you'll denature enzymes https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Fpublication%2F316463509%2Ffigure%2Ffig1%2FAS%3A487104212934657%401493146102809%2FRelationship-between-leaf-temperature-and-net-photosynthetic-rate-at-ambient-and-CO-2.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=d967ad3d95f12851ce9dfc983428fcad346b3b0450aa41980bf49555958cd966&ipo=images.

With co2 86f leaf surface temperature (lst) for optimal photosynthesis. Anything above 86 will start make photon capture less efficient. Ideal room temp changes slightly as flowering progresses. Bacterial growth is 10x that above 77f than it is below. Therefore I like to keep my tent 76 until it's time to really push.

look up a VPD chart, its a good map of data with temps/RH and ideal levels. With CO2 temps can go higher but watering and feeding must match its needs. I don't so any co2 supplementation. Your 30/65 is a good ratio without co2, ideally I'd like temps a bit lower but its looking good.
