5 weeks into flowering, problem with top

Hey, currently growing 3 plants; Hawaiian snow, big bang and lemon skunk. Plants are 5 weeks into flowering and all are around 4 ft tall. They were moved once during vegging due to moving house and currently live in a closet (not too small, still comfortable to grow in). I have used bending to fit the plants around the room and I am using a 250 bulb.

That was the brief of the grow, now here's the problem.

The temperature of the closet when the light is off is around 27, but when the light is on it can reach upto 37 :0 (i know that's very hot). To help prevent this i have to wake up every morning when the lights come on to open the closet door and place a fan there in order to keep the temperature between 29-31 (depending on actual weather conditions). One morning i slept through the alarm and woke up at mid-day, opened the closet and found hawaiin snow drooping badley, and was very dry from the temperate. I gave her some fresh mix and helped seperate the leaves. This happened now about a week ago and the plant is doing very good, good bud development and leaf colour, except the very top bud of the plant seems to have dried out, no longer grows and the hairs on it have gone brown.

I was hoping someone could guide me on what to do as i want to know if i should keep it there; will it be fine or if a should cut it off. Also I would be interested in finding out how each will effect the outcome of the plant. I currently cant find my camera so cant post pics sorry but will hopefully find it soon.

Thanks

you can either buy a fan and keep it on your tops at all times (thats what i do you should have a fan for circulation 24-7 to supress bugs and mold, esp at night or you can move your light up decreasing the intensity thus decreasing the temperature and radiant temperature of your plants

sorry about the late reply, been working a lot. I am happy to say that the babys are doing well. I kept a fan on her for a couple of days and bent the top, now shes looking great. Pictures of them will hopefully be up in the next couple of days.

Thanks
