First CFL Grow Inquiries (First Post Ever)

Hello all. I am a first time poster, but long time reader and I believe I've gathered a lot over time. I took the liberty of starting my first indoor. I have about a two month old lady in around 2.5 gallons of a Fox Farm Ocean Forest, perlite, and guano mix. She is under 1 46 watt (2700 lumens), 1 26 watt (1700 lumens) and 1 64 watt (4200 lumens). Now, I've seen people on this site with more lights/lumens than I, with people telling them it's not nearly enough. Yet this plant is maybe less than 2 months old and it stands about 3 1/4 feet tall with preflowers and large branches. I'm beginning to wonder what I'm doing right that others aren't because there are huge fan leaves and I have no ventilation but it's in a closet. I'd really just like a few opinions on this before I induce. Thank you.
 
That is plenty of light for vegging one plant, as you plant is showing you.. For flowering I'd make sure you have at least 100W of 2700 and preferably using 23w bulbs as they are the most efficient and throw in the mix whatever you want of the full spectrums. The 2700's will give you dank buds though.
 
Hey, thanks for the response. I assume you mean 2700k in which case, I'm pretty sure all of the cfls I have are 2700k spectrum. So hopefully this first grow will go well. I think I'll start budding within the week.
