Yeah people do it all the time, you wont yield much. Just get as many of those fuckers you can growing in your area, 2700 for flowering, 6500 for vegging. Or just do a mix spectrum of both all the way through. I've never heard of anyone going overboard with too many CFLs.

Duel Spectrum CFL off ebay ect. They are a single CFL bulb with two separate tubes. They look like a regular large CFL, but the two independent tubes provide both blue and warm light. about 25-$30 for a 100watt.

Keep the lights 1-2 inches away at all times. The amount of lumens lost any further are significant.

and don't listen to people telling you that you'd be better off buying MH or HPS or whatever. Just do what you know and what you can afford. CFLs can make great plants and great buds.
