Thank you everyone so faro for your help on this matter the smaller one did shrivel up and die, but my 1st and tallest is still standing strong and growing.
I know being inside under fluorescent lighting is not the best conditions. The air stays around 73 degrees, +/- 2-3 degrees. and the plant gets anywhere from 9-12 hrs of light daily. Over the weekend I leave one lamp on and move the pot to the darker side and water enough to make sure the soil is damp.

Which part of Texas are you in? I found hardening the plants against wind to be crucial to their survival outdoors when I lived in central TX.

I wouldn't be so concerned about the lack of cool; Texas has something approximating a winter, and it hits ~50 for a good portion of it. What I'd be more concerned with is the heat - but that's why they say to avoid putting a bonsai in direct sunlight, neh?

DFW area. TX weather is drunk right now.

From my experiences gardening in the Ft Hood area, the seedlings I acclimated by gently rustling with a fan for an hour before work and then placing outside for an hour after work (1800ish) in the springtime did vastly better than the greenhouse babies, who just never seemed to get tough enough to survive high summer. I had started my seedlings on acclimating about when they grew their first true leaves, and didn't lose very many - no more than the control group.
I also kept an eye on them during this process, and let them decide when they wanted to come inside. Water before, after, and throughout is very helpful, as this process dries them out a bit. Baby plants aren't terribly tough, so you can't leave them unsupervised while acclimating them, but by activating the stress responses early you'll get a hardier plant.
