    i would try cfl's. i started with t12 and relized very soon it was a bitch to keep the light evenly spread. i went from 3 t12 fixtures to 9 cfls and noticed better growth almost instantly..imo

    U might be able to grow it in fact it is going to grow but will take forever to flower and the yield will be crap. You can get a good 400 watt on the internet with timer, drop cords and boths bulbs for 140 bucks these days.

    save up 50 bucks and get those two plants covered with cfl. youll get a better spectrum of light and way better coverage. my plants looked like this after a week of t12's IMAG0002.jpgand if you have 4ft of length in your grow room, you could split that into vegging amd flowerimg sections. why not kill two birds with one stone?after i switched to cfl this was the same plants a week and a half laterIMAG0019.jpgIMAG0031.jpg
