The low wattage bulbw will produce very low lumens, they will grow but very poorly. the lumens won't (directly) affect the speed, just the quality of the plant. My advice is to go buy about 10-15 more of those globes for your 8 plants. or of course fewer higher wattage cfls.

Ive had this discussion with friends of mine, many seem to overlook PPP and oldschool AK varieties in scrog. Not too sure about bag appeal with these strains but for pheno-stability and speed of growth these two are tops. You can keep cutting harvest apon harvest.
Im in so cal and the last time i had WW and NL seeds delivered they were confiscated, about a week after, i had a letter from customs saying that the package was taken due to illegal shipments. A comforting fact is that nothing else happened. I was able to order more (to a different address)...
are the seeds germinating or have they sprouted? there's all sorts of germinating techniques but i actually prefer darkness to germinate. but yeah, those cfls wont put out much heat at all which is good, when they sprout, get em as close as you can, you wont burn them.

Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. they were all left-handed, all died at the age of 27, and all their autopsies reported that a white bic lighter found in their pockets. they are evil!
