i like it alot! i use CFL also, what are the bulbs putting out? you want to use the bulbs that saw daylight 6500K for veg. state. you need to get those light closer to the plants, CFL should be about 3-4 inches away. and try to surround the plant with light rather then having all on top. dont use nutrients till about week 2 since popping out the soil. Good luck!

Just remember when using low power lights like those get them as close as you can to the plant without burning them I have my clones under 2 40w cfls and they are about 2 inches from them.

your lights should be mounted horizontally and have a back reflector on each bulb, you're only getting a small fraction of usable light hitting the leaves.
