I am using 2 105w CFLs for one White Label Doublegum plant (plus a Grotek LED panel for shits and giggles) and I wish I had more light. I'd say that you might be able to grow one small plant with that, but two would be pushing it.

Ohh man

Seems like a real cheap setup ..... maybe to keep living room plants alive it would do just fine... i'm not sure it will be able to handle 2 plants...

Like the others are saying, that is not gonna be enough light. With CFLs, it's better to have a bunch of smaller ones (42 watts) scattered around the plant where it needs light, instead of having just one hanging above the plant. I used 10 CFLs on two plants, and I'm pretty happy with the yield.
