Default CFL light question (Again 8)!

First post as well, hola.

Well I decided to try and grow some pot a few weeks ago, so I looked up a few things and bought a few lights / set some stuff up.

Right now I have x2 42 watt soft white cfl's + x2 27 watt daylight cfl's attached in a pretty damn small grow room that's a little bigger then your average computer case.

The entire thing is lined with aluminum foil for reflectivity / I have a fan blowing in it to keep it cool / new oxygen.

PH of the soil is 6.5ish. (Or should be, if it's the same as the PH of the water!)

So I'm just wondering, would I be able to grow one pretty decent plant with that light setup / general setup? I figure since it should be at about 9660 lumens with much reflectivity + a small space it would turn out pretty good.

yeah man thats plenty of light for veg deffinatly. but yeah trash the foil it will cause more harm than help. go to a craft store and get some mylar wraping paper if ur looking for a cheap solution. or just go to the hyrdro store and get some real mylar or panda plastic. if its ur first time i recomend panda plastic. its really cheap and really easy to work. check out my grow sounds pretty similar to what u will be doin.

Alright thanks, do you guys think Home Depot would have anything I could use as a sub for the tin foil? I have plenty of money (150-200 for spending myself, and my friend should have 50-100), but I'm not sure if they sell mylar there or not, probably, right?

ASAP would be an awesome reply, since after I get done with my haircut we were going to head on out there. We were planning on picking up a smaller fan anyways to help with cooling, so this should be a nice touch.

Ah, and one more question, are there any nutes that would be good for a vegging plant that would be common / easy to pick up? Again, let's say from a place like Home Depot, since I can't use online sources. (Only 18*, stealth grow.)

...

ONE more question, inorder to see if my plant is male or if it is female I was planning on keeping them on the 12 / 12 hour light schedule for a while to see the sex. As SOON as I knew it was a female (Hopefully) I was going to switch back to vegging via a 18/6ish light hour schedule. (On when I am awake, off when I sleep.)

Would this work? Or would something happen to the plant?

BTW- They are already a few weeks into vegging, I just decided to start posting since this seems like a pretty good site for info.

Thanks all. : )

edit- Oh and I will measure the size of the room. Pictures would go up, but I only have a shitty camera phone, so it would probably not be worth it in honesty. I'll see what I can do though.

edit edit- Oh and I will probably be getting x2 more red light / x1 more blue light CFL's (Little ones) to line the top of the box with. Adding another (Hopefully) 21ish watts.
