those look pretty good man, especially for a first time. The picture makes it hard to tell, but it looks like you can afford to put your lights a bit closer...with CFL's there is markedly less ambient heat so you can get them pretty close without burning. With regard to your heating problem, generally if it stays under 90 you're ok; certainly not ideal, but it shouldn't kill the plant. Will likely effect quality, but you'll still be able to harvest. The only other thing I'd say you need is a fan, maybe two (one to exhaust, one to circulate air over the plants to provide fresh co2 supply)...looking good overall, actually pretty impressive for your first go...one thing to check out for next time, especially if you're using CFL's again, is learning to top/FIM your plants. Right now the second or 3rd pic looks like the top third of your plant is stretching because the lights are so far away...it will make your buds less dess because it cause the nodes to be spread out too far apart and it also makes your plant unecessarily tall and therefore harder to provide adequate light for, just something to consider for future....good luck
