For LST you want to grow horizontal...so you need to train that vertical growth under your screen, shouldn't be sticking straight up like that! Whatever grows up, train back down under the screen. You will be constantly doing this as your plants grows until it fills the entire screen. Below is an example.



Also your plant looks very healthy, I would not mess with the PH or worry about repotting. You're growing in a small area, that pot should be fine for what you are trying to do.

As for the increase in temps, more light = more heat. Def have intake and exhaust set up! If you can only do one, exhaust is the most important. Your plants look pretty good considering the temps. In the 80s isn't the most ideal but it seems like it is working for you. You can successfully grow if you can manage to keep things under 90! Think about the areas outdoors that weed grows the best...it definitely doesn't stay 78 degrees there! Think about India for instance!

It's a weed, it doesn't need too much micromanaging, they grow easily enough with just a little assistance. Train that bad girl under the screen, look into getting an exhaust, and keep doing what you are doing!
