I'd use smaller cfl's so you can spread light more evenly, that would work out a lot better. If you was to keep the 125w bulb then i say it would do the top half of one plant.
Don't expect too much good bud.

ive got 1 flourescent light kicking out 9000k also 2 kitchen cfl.s kicking out 3000k each also another 4 cfls each kicking out 1.500k and going with that is a 125 watt flowering red spectrum light....plenty enough for 8 plants....they have been in flowering stage now for over month and a half...
yeah deffo m8 thanks i am really trying to get the best out of my cfls now i bought em but i want 8 plants and im not sure about any other lights cos i got a feeling them pesky pork choppers in the sky will have a feild day as i live very close to em lol.
its why i went for cfls to reduce heat and run a more efficient job like.

i suppose if ur in a attic growing them and havent got the heat proofing then u might be a bit unlucky and get a knock on the door but as far as cfls go theres no way in this world they can detect that sort of heat...concidering its way less than a hps or mh would give out if u havent got a fan runnin with it..............

Dude, check my plant below. It was grown with 180w of clf power and 2 flourescent tubes, so about 220w in total and it was total shit, weak buds, taken forever to look like buds, and never filled out.
I done all the research on growing with clf's, they were 1 1/2 inch away at all times too and it was just not worth the effort i think.
So the point is, you're using about the same amount of watts on 8 plants as i was using on one plant, which is totally underpowered, and as i said, was total shit.
You really need to cut back on the plants or increase the amout of light/lumens 10 fold.
I recon you could yeild just as much bud if you just grew 2 plants instead of 8 using that power.
Anyway, have a read and check cfl grows on here.
peace
