That's 3000 lumens per sq ft, enough but not nearly optimal.

only if you grow SOG no more than 18 inches when finished, even then it is not great nad also mixing the light with cfl is not brilliant either. 6500k cfl have the best spectrum for vegging out of any lights and mixing flowering cfls (2700k) really does nothing but give inadequate lighting. Vice-versa aswell.

What's your basis for the opinion on spectrum in veg? The dominate view is that mixed light is preferable in all stages. In fact, in nature sunlight goes from mostly blue in spring to mostly red in late summer. Never is it all one or the other.

it doesn't matter how many lumens a bulb produces, it only matters how many they deliver to the target. If you have them in close so all the light is hitting the grow area you can just divide the number of lumens by the number of sq ft. That can be as little as 3000 per sq ft but 5 or 6 is better. The sun produces 10k per sq ft.
