u might want to get more. more lights means better yield. u might b able to get away with it but the more lights the better. right now im using 2 23watt cfls just for the start of my veg. once the plant gets going im gonna add 4 more and then even more once i flower. keep posting and ill keep checkin by

i use two 2700K (32watt) and two 5000K (26watt) for flowering one plant in a hydro DWC setup.
For personal stash smoke, CFL's will do nicely though more light is almost always better

that's my current plant, getting chopped next week. It's lookin to yeild about 1.5oz dried.
Though the first time I flowered using CFLs, I grew a wee little bonzi (as seen in my avatar) to about 8in tall. That lil one yeilded about half a Z. As they always say, pratice makes perfect. You'll find moving the lights around every day is going to be a fun game. I always have to yell at my plant and tell it "NO! Don't touch the bulbs. They're HOT!" lol
Do you have any pics of your plant and setup?

Monkey, we gotta help you with your grow...your current set-up should be able to produce much better plants than that with no extra cost.
