im not to much of a expert in the cfl department but i do know a plant needs 50W per square foot and 3000 lumens minimum per square foot. So just do a lil math with the grow area you have and the bulb and things will fit into place. Hopw this helps.

How tall are your plants? If you only have a couple of cfls sitting above each plant, you won't get much light down to the bottom or insides of the canopy.
