yeah you are probably not gonna get much from that... they dont give off any lumens, well some but not enough for flowering... 2ft t5 gives off about 400 at an inch away if that (depending on brand, color temperature, etc.)...400w hps give off more than 2000 at 16 inches away... 23w CFL gives off about 700-1000 at an inch away (depending on brand, color temperature, etc.)... that was just from readouts from my light meter not scientific fact... but i think alot of people would agree to some extent... so im gonna say NO

allright well thanks for your advice, what should i use then, i dont have a very big space and the only info on lighting i can get is for multiple plants, im not a big time grower just a hobbiest so anything for 2 - 3 plants would be nice, i.e. cheap effective, safe and idiot proof

at the least you would need 2 or 3 23w CFLs for each plant, depending on how you set things up
