He did recommend keeping the temp a tad higher for medication for a while, so today will lower it to a more comfortable setting like SMTHook said.
That's good news. It took me a lot of trial and error to get to thriving. I'd take it down slow. Below 90 for sure though, that should be the absolute highest.
