is this enough light for 1 sativa plant?

ok i have 3 26 watt = 100watt cfl's the plant is about 6 inches also doing some 12/12 from seed but the light covers it enough for now the lumens are currently at 4800 / is this enough ? i can go 6400 / or 8000 if i must but trying to avoid that the specs of room are 1x1 square foot and 2 foot tall / micro grow / the strain is northern lights and the plant is very very healthy and not stressed with good soil ph and great nutes also if anyone can tell me what the yield would be around with each lumen set please post tahnks for reading also i had to start lst because the plant hit the lights is it to late since i started flower last night or will i jsut get one big bud bc no side stems have yet devolped since its sativa i can post pics if need be :leaf: want the best yield possible​
 
Well, it is enough, it is really what you want to put into it. More light means faster growth, and potentially much higher yields. That being said, the more you invest, the more you harvest.

Sorry, I know it's not an answer, but yes, I believe that you will be fine.

i would double your current light since you just switched to flower. 4-5 2700k's and 1-2 6500k's. 23/26w's
iv only got 1x1 foot in terms of widness 5 is like seriously pushing it on heat and room plants love it though you think i could sub the other for mylar lining the walls and base of plants? ( covering soil with mylar for the light hours and removing for night)

in my experience 60-80 watts per plant in small spaces works well. i use 276w ( 12 23w bulbs ) for 3-4 plants. check out the grow in my sig.
