even one of those is enough. it just isn't optimal. more light = better so do the best you can

Are they all between 2700-3500 kelvin temp? If they are 5000-6500k return them and get the warm whites. That should be alright for one plant; how tall is it? I'd place the largest bulb over the top and place the 2 42's on each side of the plant, so the plant is getting light from 3 different angles.

that all depends on your soil your growing in if it has nutes in it your plant will be happy but if not then it will show deficiency's without nutes
you should see about getting a cheap mh or hps light from home depot i think they have like 70 watt hps 'security lights' that would work way better for flowering or get a mh check lowes home depot etc or look at those bigger 65,125,200 watt cfls i saw a 200 watt cfl and the plug in cord for it for like 80$ free shipping on ebay

yeah probably should be good unless you veg for hella days and they eat up all the nutes then lol but im not sure you might wanna get another opinion but i think with like 4-6 weeks to veg and 2 months flowering the fox farm soil will do it
