What’s up fellow growers, got a bit of an issue with my first grow. I’m currently doing a closet grow in a 5x3 space, I’m running an sf-2000 spiderfarmer led with an ac infinity cloudline t4 running directly up into my attic, along with 2 clip on fans and 2 bigger fans.

My main issue is temperature, I run my lights on aN 18-6 schedule keeping them on from 6 pm- 12 pm, my temperature during the day is usually around 90 F while towards the evening and morning, with the light on it ranges from 85-88. My humidity ranges from 45-60 usually depending on the day and the time but usually stays in the 50s.

Any suggestions on keeping down temperatures, my plants do show signs of heat stress but they grow nonetheless, I’d prefer to keep them in cooler temperature so I can keep them as healthy as possible.

Not a lot of options, reduce heat, or add cooling. Looks like your light are off thru the hot hrs, so, other things that make heat. The driver on the light, you could relocate it to outside the grow area, possibly increase size of exhaust. Other than that, can't think of anything other than bringing in AC.
 
If you cannot get the heat down see if you can get the humidity up to ~65%. The plant also looks like it needs a boost of Potassium - K.

straighten out your exhaust hoses to optimize (increase) air flow.
is the body of the fan warm? you could move your fan into the attic (at the end of the exhaust hose)
 
Heat is tough to deal with (but doable) and it's always caused a problem for me yearly for the 15 yrs I've grown. Personally, I run every plant on 12/12 allowing me to run a photo with autos...In summer I simply change schedule to run at night when my automatic fans keep heat at bay using ambient outside temps.
My advice is not to get hung up on 18 or 20 hrs of light...the gain from light energy is minimized from the stress. Therefore, more gain is viable with less energy.
This year, so I could run my system in daytime, I added a dehumid/ac unit just for the grow tent.....
