Is this enough light for 2 plants?

Hi guys I am going to attempt my first grow. I bought 5 feminized skunk #1 seeds from sensi seeds. My grow box is my wardrobe. It is 5 ft high, 2 ft wide and 1 and 3 thirds deep. I have bought a 200 watt dual spectrum cfl and two 35 watt cfls blue spectrum and will be buying two 45 watt cfls red spectrum when it is getting close to flowering. I am wondering if this will be enough light for two plants? (only trying 2 plants in case it doesn't go as planned). I will have 200 watt cfl on top and the two smaller ones on each side. My wardrobe is flat white on inside. I have plagron light mix swell and am wondering if I can use this soil throughout full growth of plant? I am also unsure what nutrients to get? My budget is small, I only have 50 euro left to get extra bits of equipment. I have fan and timer too.

Any answers and tips will be really appretiated :)

It is, it won't touch using HID or LED lighting but it will scrape by if you are a bare minimum type of guy.

A good rule is to try and keep 100w's per plant, other than that yes you can actually get a solid grow going as long as you keep all other growing elements under control.

From what I've read and researched is.
3000 lumens per square foot minimum.
The more light the better.

Not enough light. you have a total of 270 watts. Giving you an estimated 18,000 lumens. Thats less than 4000 per plant. It will be enough probably for veg. But during flower you want to double the lumens per plant. More like 8000 lumens or more. The more light the better.

That will work for each plant...a 200 watt on top of each w surrounding smaller lights and ull do OK 20121215_182115.jpg1358277784922.jpgw small grows such as urs u CAN do just as well if not better than hid or led...1355883283839.jpg

You'd be right around the minimum amount of lumens per square foot needed to sustain growth.
200w cfl around 9000 lumens
(2) 35w cfl around 5000 lumens.
Say 4 square feet 12000 lumens minimum.
you have around 14000 lumens with your set up.
You'd need 20000 lumens for mid range growth.
And 32000 or more for optimal growth.
you need more light, atleast hit the mid-range of lumens.
I'd get another 200w dual spectrum.
The more light the better.

I'm only growing two plants tho!

lol if 3k lumens is enough to sustain a plant and grow the snicklefritz then im pretty sure your 7k lumens per plant should be enough, dont quote me on it though im just basing my information off what everyone else said. there is always room for more light though i assume
 
For flowering I will have four 35 watt red spec, 2 on each side and will have X2 200 watt dual spec cfl on top. That should be enough do ye think for two plants? Will also have Bio buzz for nutrients! I'm only looking to get at least 1-2 o's off each plant!
