I was wondering if 5 cfls that are 23 watts each and different kelvins and a fluorescent 20 watt is enough to grow an auto or 2?

150w hps for $70 but I would keep the CFL's with this for side lighting. a 150 isn't all that powerful.
other than that you'll need more than 5 cfls for a full grow. even with autos. I've seen people having upwards of 600w of CFL's in a closet. that's actual watts, not equivalent.

You can never ever have too much cfl's on your grow, no mater the size...
You got a 3 x 3 box put in as many CFL's as possible...if 50 will fit and not over heat your tent... put 50 in it...
Too many CFL's on a MJ plant... is an Oxymoron....
I veg and flower under hps..mainly for simplicity and the bulb lasts twice as long while seeming to produce less heat (bout 10° cooler out the tube, 600 watt cool tubes) and more lumens
Cfl/mh produces slightly better bud
....well figure I'll respond too
I have Apollo 600 watt cool tubes...I also keep my original cfl cab around. Its about 750 actual watts in a 20x24" stacked rubbermaid tote
I run sog..depends on genetics/how bushy they grow vs totem poles..generally 12-15 per light, gallon pots. Cool tubes are in an "open grow" style
