will these lights be good enough

I decided to build a veg room.. its quite tiny but hey its all i got right now... im using x6 23w = 100w cfl bulbs (BRIGHT WHITE)

will this be ok for 2 plants to get decent size? about 1.5-2 ft at which point id put them in my flower box..

how close can i have these lights to the plants ?

**also i know they might look a bit slanted, ill be changing to a normal bin without the drain pipe next water change

That should be ok to a foot and a half or so. Two feet might be pushing it a bit.

I agree with PJ, unless you got some much stronger cfl bulbs and get clever with light placement....

Eventually you'll need to reposition your CFL's and when that day comes i recommend upgrading to atleast a single 65w on one side of the plant with another 65w on the other. 6 23w CFL's can be used to grow a decent sized plant as long as you surround the plant with the lights and keep them no more than 2"in away from the plant. CFL's produce little heat and do not require as much cooling the closer you decide to put the lights to the CFL's.

if your happy with good enough then yes but if you like more then add more lights

get domes for them. they are cheap , or at least make a good custom hood with preferably Mylar(or something), to utilize as much light as possible

but im sure soon u will be upgrading to an hps system....inevitable
