Yes, but it won't be the best grow, especially if you want to use them for flowering. Just get a 100 or 250W HPS for flowering

If this is a first grow, I can tell you from experience that you'll do fine vegin' with floros. As your babies get bigger (and if you start to develop a daddy-daughter bond) you'll find a HPS on ebay for a few hundred and love life for doing so. Stick with it man!

As in CFLs? CFLs are good for growing but it depends on how many u have and what wattage. One 40W CFL could lite 1 plant maybe 2

i have a 600 watt in my wardrope is it ok for me just to open wardrope doors and put fan there would tht be safe with a 600 watt hps

oh, 600W HPS is a monster. They put off a lot of heat. Keep them a good distance from the top of the plants and a fan should be good. Just keep checking to make sure you dont need more ventilation

That would be good for vegging, but you probably want to either get more for flowering or pay up and get an HPS
