at day 24 you will be fine, turn it down for now and maybe add a vent system before flower time..
no im not,its not possible for me to set up a vent system,so i just open my window and closet door and have two fans in the door way of the closet,after i do my first harvest ill buy a grow tent,but until then i have to work with what i have
i done spent about 400 bucks on this grow already lol

Are you running light in the night time when it's cooler out? From 6pm-6am for 12/12. It will help.

You could get by fine with one fan. Have one fan down low blowing air in, pressure will make it exhaust out the top. Or blow it out the top, and it will suck in below.
no,the light starts at like 4 am on a 18/6 cycle ,i accully wanted to change it where it runs at night but i was afraid if i did that then it would stress the plants plants or something,so would it b ok to cut my light cycle short in order to get them to run at night?
heres some pics of my gheto lil set up lol,i know there kinda small for 24 days,but outher than that how do they look?(the one at front left is messed up cause i acidently cut some extra leaves off while trying to fim it lol,but suprisingly it is the only one showing any sighn of new growth for 4 days now lol

Yes. It shouldn't stress them in my opinion. In nature they are constantly adjusting to light length. What will stress them is light leaks during the night cycle. It is more important to have no leaks if your night cycle is during the day. I actually kept my lights off for 18hrs to adjust time schedule instead of shortening the day. But either way your good.
