I did the same thing you did and had no problem except for Ph now but in my room I put an ovulating fan and my light is a 120watt cfl and a 75 watt just enough. I think ur problem is that its too hot in there. Do u noe the temp in there wut feeds are u using if any and how often my advice is careful with overeater with soil cus it produces knats. And trust me I had a big problem with that. Here's a pic of her 2 weeks ago

Yes, you heat stressed your plants.
You can't just stick them in a sealed container with 6 x 23w CFL. Those CFL produce quite a lot of heat. To grow them in a box like that you need active ventilation, fresh cool air, air
movement. At least cut 8 x 25mm holes on the top of the box to let the hot air out. Cut another bunch of holes on the bottom and this will give some sort of passive air circulation.
Is there any chance you could ease off on the shortened SMS telephone language ? Just for the sake of those who take their time to answer your question ?
SMS language/spelling was invented to maximise the information sent in one text message, therefore saving the sender money. But it's free to write your characters here...
This has to be one of the most confusing threads for telephone SMS grammar, spelling and punctuation on the whole site !!!
I have no idea how foreign viewers are going to understand this specialised telephone texting form of English :D
There isn't one single full stop in the first post, not even at the end of it. I am taking into account that Bakedboi is most likely not a native English speaker, but full stops ?
P.S
Are you sure your fan is ovulating ? Is it turned on a lot ? :)

Well if you need help and want a reply the very least you could do is type in proper English, its not really that hard? i agree with what silent leprechau said. It doesn't take long, and if you ask me SMS talk on anything is lazy and makes the person seem a little stupid but maybe that's me.
As for your problem, We had heat stress and all it took was a few holes and some fans, it kept the heat from 40-50c down to 23-30c depending on outside air temps
Like it was once said, it you don't like the reply don't ask the question :)
Thanks
