watts/lumens per square feet

i have a small grow in the right side of a desk. i took out all the drawers and lined it with reflective material and tossed a sugar/yeast/water co2 2L in there.

my question is: my W= 14inches L= 18inches and H= 23inches.

would 2 46w CFLS and 2 26w CFLS be sustainable for 3 seedlings with 1-2 weeks veg then str8 to flower?

sorry i forgot to mention....the seedlings arent any special strain just some bagseed hybrid that is sativa dominate

here is a site that I look at and he has some good ideas for it. he has a small area as well using cfl's. You are going to want to use LST and a change to a low light frequency. 6500k for veg then 2700k for flowering. good luck.

It would get them going but when they really flower I would want more. And of course the bulbs would be different for flower, red spectrum.

thanks for the responses all.

i was going to lst all 3 of them once they got like 5 inches taller.

the cfl's i have in there currently are all 2700k spectrum. i might do a grow journal with this since it is my 2nd indoor grow.

thanks again all and happy growing
