can this be enough to flower this plant?

lights being used
100W soft white CFL = about 1600 lumens (left side)
100W daylight CFL = about 1300 lumens(top side)
14W fluorescent = about 800 lumens (back side)

that comes out to about 3700..
i just want to know if this could make it through flowering..

pictures attached below..

It will flower.
CFLs work great, but you seriously need more light.
you're really only workin with the bare minimum there bro.

Well , first off, for flowering u should have pretty much all ur bulbs warm white.
Second, if they are infact 100W cfls , then yes, 200W of cfls would be enough for one plant if u position them right.
For flowering , u really want ur bulbs to be 2700K's. So thats another thing.
But if they are infact 2 , 100W cfls , and they are 2700K. Then that should be good for 1 plant.

okay i appreciate the feedback & opinions
but i just want to clarify something i was told
someone said it can go by the size of the growbox
meaning lumens for every square feet? so?
any objection to that?

my growbox is about 2 feet wide & about 2 1/2 feet tall
& about 1 foot in, so, it's pretty small...

well , some people say 5000 lumens per square foot is ideal. U have 2 square feet. So the IDEAL amount would be 10,000 lumens. U have 3700. But like i said, thats IDEAL amount.

Yes, 5000-6000 lumens/sq.ft. would be ideal, but 2000-3000 lumens/sq.ft. will suitably do the job and it's a more realistic number to shoot for since he is working with such limited space.

^ there it is
i don't doubt it because my space is small..
