You can use the cfl's for vegging.. lets say maybe for a month,

But, for anything worthwhile in flowering, you either need a grip of cfl's hanging all over the place, or a single 400+ watt hps with a good reflector.

Normally, you would veg a plant 15-20" before putting her in flower.

Best of luck

When I used cfls I was vegging for about 1-1/2-2 months, I cut that down to about 5 weeks with my hps's
