Hello all growers 
I start by apologizing (here too) for my bad english (if case). I am really new in this topic and have almost no idea how to do it. So I'm counting on your help either. I have to mention I am from Romania, so some of your tech and terms might be unfamiliar to me. I apologize for that one too.
I started with just one little tiny plant 6 days ago, therefor this is my seven day and my plant is one week old
Given the fact that my financial resources are not too high, I started with apartment conditions. Somewhere about 28-30 degrees Celsius (about 82-86 Fahrenheit), normal soil (ph 6.5-7 - no vermiculite or other stuff), sunlight at daytime and bulb (40 w - way too low) at night time, no reflection surfaces or stuff like that. Some very poor conditions in one word.
My plant stretched a bit, so I asked around here for help. I was adviced to buy some cfl. I did so, and now I'm asking in order to find out if I bought the right stuff. As my cfl envelope is saying, this is a 23 W, 6500 K (I think so, 'cause it's saying Energy A on a scale from A to G) and 1500 lumen. I am a bit worried about that last number 'cause I heard that it takes at least 3000 lumen so that it works properly. If this is not enough I'll buy a second cfl if this help, but I have to mention again that I only have one single plant.
I'm attaching lower a picture of my plant in its 6 day, meaning yesterday, and a picture of the cfl.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

The cfl I bought is red-lighted (so I though it was 6500 K - but it seems to be 2700 or something). Damn manufacturers. On my envelope there is no kelvin specification. My 7 days plant is going to flower and be damaged given the fact that I already started the cfl treatment ?
