A week shy of two months. Plant grown with 12/12 from seed using CFLs. Leaves are turning and bending. Did some research and I read about heat stress could this be it? It's 80 degrees in my box can this be the issue. If it is how can I recover and how long would it take?

80 is an acceptable temp. May be another issue.
Is there enough fresh air? How often do you water?

I try to water everyday, I check if the top of the soil is dry which it is everyday. I don't think it might be getting enough fresh air since the fans are just blowing air out of the box but nothing is coming in

1. Just because the top is dry does not mean the deeper soil is.
Try to let it dry out a bit more before watering, lift the pot up, and if it's light... water it.
Roots need oxygen as well as water.
2. Think about an intake/exhaust system set up.
For now, opening the closet once or twice a day will be sufficient to provide the CO2 the plant needs, but as it gets bigger, it will need more fresh air.

Really needs more light...how far away are the lights from the plant? with CFL's you need to be as close as possible.
 
If that is the case then its not that your plants aren't getting enough light it's that there not getting it long enough...u should always start up plants with at least 18 hrs of light and 6 hrs dark minimum...a lot of people do 24 hrs non stop till signs of pre flower, then switch to 12/12..again I may be missing from something u said but if that is the case that's the reason u r plant is soo small. At two months it shld be huge!

Sorry to be critical (wish I could say something nice) but thats one sorry ass pot plant after 8 weeks, again sorry :). From the looks of things you've got light issues, soil issues, water issues. Lights need to be better, soil needs to be lighter and airier, and stop watering it so much lol. Try letting it dry out and lift pot, go by that. When it feels light water till it runs out bottom.

Pots too small might be root bound also light deparvation if ya look at the branch's there far too far apart get the light closer.what ec are ya at i would get the plants in bigger tubs and tek the bottom growth of and leave about 6 ince above the soil get the stem under the soil might take longer but you will not get much from them has they are nodes to far apart.hope this helps dude sorry to be the one to give you the bad news,but by putting the stems under soil and light closer ya will get far more from them

Did you guys read when I said it's grown from 12/12 seed? It's suppose to be small. In 12/12 you can grow it in a solo cup and be fine.... I'm not trying to get a great yield, I'm trying to grow something small. The best answer I got was giving it fresh air, which now I'm doing and the plant is looking fine. Thanks for all your responses, but some don't make sense. I come here to get help so please be knowledgeable when answering.

Yes plants can be grown in anything and survive. Is it good practice to grow in small wet containers, no. I'm really confused as to why you posting "whats wrong with my plant" if your happy with it? Also at 8 weeks of 12/12 should it not be flowering at least a bit? And another thing lol so you've given it more air and in the span of what 24 hours its gone from whats wrong to its doing great ..... Hmmm.....,ok then lol.

Yes i did read the flowering from the off,but the reson i said bigger pot is half the plant needs putting below soil or the yeild will be
very low lolly pop it and have just a bit out the top and get the lights near to the tops nodes are too far apart.

You are still gonna have 8/9 week of flowering during this time the root mass will get fair size has for flowering in sola cups that not something i would advice un - less you have no room,for larger pots
