yea ... th'll work .. there even a cfl forum topic here somewhere ... lots of success has been had with cfl grows. however, the results are generally of lessor quantity and quality than the more powerful hps or mh lights. good luck .... Walk on!!~~

My plant is using three 68w 2700k cfls, two 27w 2700k cfls, and two 6500k (for wide spectrum) during flowering. Here is a picture of it.

Danm dude thats mad light! Is it hot in your grow room? Is all that light needed or is it just extra for maximum bud output?

You didn't mention what colour temperature your bulbs are. For flowering you really want 2700k, and 6500k for veg. A mixture is good, say 2-3 2700k to every 1 6500k for flower and vice versa for veg.

You've got nigh on 300w for 2 plants, I think you'll be ok. A more accurate measure is the amount of lumens, optimal levels are 7-10,000 per sq ft of plant. The sun gives about 10,000 per sq ft on a clear summers day.
