I want to grow no more then 5 plants with CFL T5 or T8s, im going to use 4 bulbs 2 6500k and 2 3000k, my question is, is this enoph to produce some ok bud? And would i still use the 18/24 for growing and 12/12 for flowering?

You mentioned nothing about wattage or bulb size. For 5 plants, have atleast 300w... I have 400w of HPS/MH (almost twice as many lumens as 400w of cfl!) on just 4 plants [:

i use three 42 watt bulbs per two plants and its ok for a small grow, for 5 plants you will need more light.
veg them at 18/6 then flower 12/12
