First Time Grow Light Questions

Hey guys, as a first timer I'm a little unsure of the efficiency of my set up which is:


- 2.5 ft tall, 3 ft wide, 2 ft deep
- Four 20w tube fluorescents on top
- Two 20w CFL on side
- One 13w CFL on side
- One fan
- 2 female plants in flowering stage 12/12


So my question is: Is my set up worthy of producing a decent crop and, if not, what can I do (inexpensively) to help reach the optimum light output?

Honestly, I think you would do better with all CFL's, rather than the fluoro tubes - they just don't have the penetration. Save up for an HPS light. You can get a 400w with everything, for around $150 shipped. (www.htgsupply.com)
