You wont get much of this. Maybe something like 5 grams not more i think.Its going to be fluffy and not much potent.

if your poor, you shouldnt be growing. just my opinion. though if you got about 300-400 bucks you could get a 150w hps, and veg with your 23w ones you got.

oh, and expect to buy a carbon filter/inline fan to deal with smell. if you dont, dont be surprised when you get busted

You will need a few more, especially as the plant gets larger. Check this out: https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/40884-buds-less-cfl-book.html
A friend gave me this book a few months ago, and it really got me inspired to start growing with CFLs. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get grow your own, and this book proves it. Check out some of the sample pages. Garden Knowm has posted a lot of sample pages here in the forum as well. As long as you have the right spectrum at the right times, and enough light for the plant to absorb, you can do fine. Don't just ask people to tell you what to do though! If you really want to grow, it is worth doing your own indepth research. Check out other CFL grows, read some books, etc. It is worth the time spent researching so that you dont go all in and suddenly come across costly problems that you never expected. Either way, best of luck! That's an awesome strain, and I'm sure with some strategy you could get a good cfl grow going.

Look into the 42W cfl's. The more you can add, the better.

They won't be as good under if you were growing under a HPS or MH, but depending on the grow area and how long you can veg, you can get a decent amount.

I dont agree with this totaly. 300-400 bucks is way to much for 150W sistem. My whole setup cost me around 130 bucks( its a 150w hps clooset grow box).
I think at least 200W off CFL is needed for some results.
