The answer is yes. Will it produce anything other than a wispy plant, no. not having enough light for your plant will lengthen your maturation time, cause a stringy looking plant, and possible root rot because of the stagnant growth. If you are going to use those lights keepem reeal close to your girl. Also keep the pot size to a minimum like a one gal. I would start with a bigger CFL though. Look on ebay, they have some. Good luck! Happy growing!

I was in your shoes about 3 months ago.. popped 2 bag seed and vegged em under cfls.. 2 months later and thank jah they both turned fem. But I have been throwing light after light at these ladies since day 1... Im up to around 250W of CFL's now and I still feel like there should be more.. Next time I'm getting 1 simple 400 W HID and callin' her a day.. GL,

Puff.

I've been growing the plant below for about 5 weeks with 3x 23w cfl's.

Slightly slower growth but i'm satisfied with no stretch at all.
They're 2" away from the plant.

CFL's do fine.

3 cfl's for flower would be a waste of a plant though. It will be moved
under the HPS in a few weeks when the second fan arrives but 7-8
CFL's would be good enough for flower. Check out SirSly420,
He'll definitely give you confidence in CFL's.

You'll be fine through veg with those as long as you just have the one plant. You'll want warm white or daylight bulbs in flowering though, you can find some 300w replacement bulbs at HD for 15$ ea two of those and a couple of the 26 watt bulbs will certainly yield decently.
