I see no reason why not. My first grow was a couple plants and 2 105w cfls in a closet and got about an oz and half of both. I didn't add any co2 or even really give them any kind of air. Setup looks well planned out. Happy growing

Would it be safe to say I could get an oz with just 4 25W's?

Are they cfls or just regular bulbs? My cfls were actual 105w but were 400w equivalent. As long as your grow space isn't to big and you're going with only one plant you should be fine.

I like the price on those, but they don't sell em online and I don't live near a HD.
Here's what I had in mind: http://www.bulbs.com/espec.aspx?ID=16729&RefId=20 for 2700k and http://www.bulbs.com/espec.aspx?ID=16631&RefId=20 for 6500k

Those will work perfectly. They'll put out more light than you'll expect.

So would I need 6 or would 4 do the job in that small of a grow?

No shit. You pulled one and a half with 2 105's? Did you use them to flower as well or just veg? I'm using a 125 watt now for veg six days in and she has her second set of leaves. I'm considering a CFL grow. I have a 600 hps if need be, just curious.

I rocked the cfls from start to finish. Used an 18/6 cycle for 8 weeks and topped twice. Alot people veg with cfls and flower with hps. I would use your hps for flowering if you've got one. The difference in yield between cfl and hps is night and day. But if it's all you got, cfls will do the job nicely

I figured multiple lower watts would help get light to multiple areas.

use some Black and White Poly Panda Film and dont waste time with bunch of small lights just invests in something a lil bigger with more lumens 105w blue spec. is good thru out veg then u will have to switch over to red spec. or even just invest in a 125w their cheap and effective 105w goes for 20$ visit http://www.growwurks.com/ and check out the product they carry....
