Yeah it's small for 2 weeks. Why is there foil around the inside of the pot?

Move the lights closer. You want the bulbs 1-2 inches from the tops of the plant.

you do not need more light. Heat drastically slows growth, see how the leave are trying to curl away from the heat. you need to check the temperature at the top of the plant

3 26W CFLs aren't going to be enough as the plant gets larger, so he does need more light (just not right now).

Hey guys I lowered the temp yesterday to 75 and this morning when I checked on her, the leves that were curling down were even more curled so I took her out of the closet and put her outside. Is this ok? Or will the sun damage my plant.

Thanks

I would throw some 'cool' lights on there too. From the looks of it, they look like 'warm' bulbs. Warm bulbs are best for flowering and cool bulbs are best for sprouting/vegging. You can also do a combination during vegging, that works too. But otherwise, they are looking nice!
