I would try it,and see but for the most part its in the gennetics of the strain your growing.

Simple ways to keep plants short
dont use big containers.
dont let them veg for long, they typically tripple in size when going into flower.
top and LST b4 flower.

I found out the hard way. When I placed my gals into flowering stage, they actually grew an additional 2/3rds more. I had to move stuff around to make more growing space. I placed my cfls on top, along the sides, everywhere.
I used eight 105watt/400watt, 2700k, 5000 lumen and two 85watt/350watt, 6000k, 4500 lumen, during the flowering stage. You can mix up your CFLs as long as you do not exceed over 50%, example 4 cfls @ 2700k, but no more than 2 cfls @ 6000k. Many growers are stuck on hps hid lights, but I'm sold on CFL grow lights. With CFLs, heat is not an issue and using clamp fixtures you can place light anywhere to serve your plants. Good luck on your grow.
