I'm going to say 4 23W CFL's will not be adequate for long, if at all. If I'm starting plants, I use 1 42W per seedling. If you plan to do CFLs throughout, you will be needing more than 92 watts for 8 plants. Good luck w/ your grow.

my 20w + 20w + 20w + 42w (102w) CFL's doesnt do the job well for 3 plants. these lights are enough for .. 2 plants maximum. i hope this helps.
