From Outside to Inside

Ok, here's the deal. I was growing a plant outside (I dunno what kind, the seed was from a random pack from a friend), and all was going well.

Until I got some new neighbors. They weren't supposed to move in for like another month and a half. Oh well. Nothing I can do. So I moved her inside into my closet. Where she has been living for about 10 days.

Now, when I moved her inside, she was JUST beginning to flower. Had the little white pistils and such.

Anywho, it took me until yesterday to get some CFL bulbs (I've been subjecting her to incandescent bulbs for over a week. I feel bad.

). But she's still flowering at an ok rate.

Anyways, I got three 23watt (1100 lumens) 50/60Hz white light CFL bulbs. They're all about 3-4 inches away. One directly above, one above and to the left, and the last one above and to the right.

Is this going to be sufficient light? Or am I going to have to jack up the light a bunch of watts?

Sorry, no pics of the current setup. I can't find my freakin camera. But here's two from right before I moved her inside:

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

when in doubt, get more light.

Yeah, I'm getting a couple of more lights tomorrow. I have been informed that it should be enough for just one plant.
