reference a vpd chart and raise humidity accordingly - this will mitigate heat. 78F isn't too hot. Probably somewhere near what you want to maximize rate of photosynthesis, actually, but does not an approriate RH% and resulting VPD. If calculating based on atmospheric temp, keep it 1.5 kPa or below. If doing it correctly with leaf temps, adhere to what the VPD reference tables suggest for flower stage. (usually negative 4-5F offset for leaf temp)
look up "HST" or i think it's called super cropping - though the technique existed long before the marijuana hobby grower's vernacular.. silly name nothing super about it. reduces g/sq ft not improves it. This simply imvolves snapping down branches to a lower level... if they are too brittle, they'll sever and that is obviously not ideal. may need to 'gently' damage a spot on a stem, then bend it down. You don't want branches completely snapping apart.. the vascular tissue must remain mostly intact. When done right, the leaves won't even wilt and it'll heal into a strong knuckle within 24-36 hours. They try to grow back upward, so while you may need to support it the first 24hours, then you'll need to tie them down so they don't try to reach back up above the light.
