NO, 13w is not nearly enough for flowering and lights dont dictate the flowering period, its the light schedule, 12/12 will send them into flowering, if you want to use cfl then get at least 4 26w lights per plant

As raeman said, you want atleast 5 or 6 26W CFLs to veg a plant and generally more for flowering to reduce stretch to a minimum.
I look towards a figure around 7-8 42W CFLS for flowering.. 5-6 42W for veg. Make sure your CFLs are in the correct color range too... Daylight 6500k for Veg and 2700k (warm white) for flowering. Also, as raeman said, the flowering period is triggered by the introduction of a 12/12hr photoperiod- Not the amount of light you give them..UNLESS YOU ARE GROWING AN AUTOFLOWERING STRAIN, IN WHICH CASE, NO CHANGE OF PHOTOPERIOD IS NECESSARY-18/6 ALL THE WAY FROM SPROUT UNTIL HARVEST. If you are going to try and flower using 3X 13w bulb, Good luck, your gonna need it. Because, even if it does try to flower under insufficient lighting, odds are it will stretch like a Mufu'er and will yield next to nothing. Its really not worth the time,effort or electricity if youre not prepared to do it properly. Cfls are cheap as hell at home depot and Wally world...Do yourself and your plants a favor, get more light. Good luck hombre and go steady
