if its only one plant from start to finish and you're gettin one more 75? then hell yea, just make sure your next 75 is 2700kelvin or w/e the flowering rating is , 2000 something im wayy too high, but that will be 100% enough for the one plant guaranteed man, im using about 280 actual wattage of CFLS on 2 flowering 2 and 3 footers and they are doing exquisitely nice

i would also like to add that if thats your 75 in the ballast, it should be maybe a half a foot closer? jst my opinion test it yourself with the hand trick, just put your hand in front of your plant and keep moving the cfl till it feels anything other than room temp "warm" on your hand, then take it back an cm-inch and you are good cause im pretty sure those 75s go far in terms of lux and intensity distance
