cfl lighting

i currently have 12 plants going to seperate 2 in about 2 weeks so ill have 10 but i will have 14 lights ovver them currently have 9 but getting more very soon. will that be enough light for 10/12 plants. oh yeah there all 23w equavielant to 100w bulbs they are mostly full spectrum 6400K

That might be enough for 10 seedings crampen into 1 or 2 sq feet, but not enough for them to grow on. Plus, 6400k is blue spectrum, ok for veg but you need mostly red spectrum for flowering.

depends on the size of the plants/pots when you put them into flower and the overall size of the light footprint/grow area...like how many watts per sq foot, and how many plants can be crammed into that sq foot or whatever. shoot fer about 6-8000 lumens per sq foot or around 90-110 watts per sq foot and you should be good.

there's also alot of other factors to consider like canopy depth and density, cfls have low penetration and are best utilized with a shallow canopy grow such as lst or scrog

.keep in mind it's not so much about the light being "enough" it's about being able to properly utilize that light, no matter how many watts you run cfls simply wont penetrate deep enough into the canopy to grow plants (efficiantly)over about a foot and a half tall..the bottom buds simply wont get enough light to develop properly and will result in a waste of space.

i do plan on lst and was also putting all plants into flowerig in 1 to 2 weeks 2 that im seperateing i hope to grow to be mothers for some clones but i did get a few more cfls so i now have 14 and i doo have a few 2700k mieed in plus a few off to the side to add when flowering

forgot to mention that i also have a few regular grow florescents mounted to back and side walls dont know wattage on theses but they are 2700K. oh yes and i don't know the sex of any of them yet they're all bagseed so i expect to loose a few

im not sure what exactally you mean by regular grow flouros..but if you mean tube style t-8's look at this stuff.. http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/fluorescent.html ( i hope it's ok to link like that..i dunno..if not, sry mods) this guy ran some tests on "grow" type flourescents in some well controlled tests and had pretty convincing results...i personally don't use and "tube" type flouros..but I'm sure this could be of help to someone that does use them (t-8's)
