Yes! For 1 SMALL plant. I would top it very short then focus a bulb on each main growing shoot. Should be two top and two bottom branches all at about the same height after topping is done correctly.

I've grown several plants under an 85W (actual) CFL with fairly good results. The bulbs you linked to are "warm white" bulbs, 2700K, which are great for flowering but not too good for vegging. What you want for vegging are "cool white" or "daylight",5700-5500K, fluorescents.

ok, enough is enough, maybe I am on edge and need to go smoke a nice one, but.....have you read anything? If you had, you would not have asked that last question. Or most of your questions for that matter.
We all want/like to help, but hand holding is not part of this, up above, when you 1st entered the newbie section is some highly suggested reading, had you of actually read some of it, and than had a question or two based on what you've read, that would be different.

My cab at the time limited me to a 3' plant height. I had 4 plans in a 2' x 2' by 4' box running an 85W main light. Three of the four plants took the "normal" 3 months and the 4th took about 1 month longer.
