anybody growin with 23 watters?!

whats up everybody?! just wondering if anybody had any experience with a setup similar to mine. I built a growbox 2'x2'x4' and im running six 23 watt daylight cfls. cant start growin just yet, got some shit holdin me back. I just heard that I needed more lights and I disagreed but then again, I have no experience! I only plan on growing one plant in a 5 gal bucket and Im going to scrog so I thought my lighting would be pretty good. what do you think?!

Yep you will be fine. Start with just 2 or 3 and work your way up. Those 23w bulbs are cheap! Buy a bunch of 3 way bulb adapters and you can add more lights if you need them. Shouldn't need more than 6-8. Check out the link in my sig I grew some bomb with only 23 watters.

I have 6-23w, 2-27w, 1-65w and 1-125w and they're growin like beasts! You get a better lumen-to-watt ratio when you use a bunch of small wattage bulbs instead of a few big ones. These are my babies at 4 weeks.
