Low 80s is fine for veg and you didn't say how old your plants are. If you are in flower you want it cooler than that, and you need 2700k lights, and more of them.

well most newb mistakes involve overwatering. Take care there. They like it dry. What are you feeding. How old? What is the medium. Give it to us straight, all the gory details.

Ideal temp for veg is 75-85. Ideal for flowering is 77-81. Cool it off asap.
