Only if the plant is a dwarf.

Just the way I look at it - 100w (minimum) in CFL's per plant, for veg.
If you're using the 23W CFL's, mix 3 Daylight (6500k) with 1 soft (2700k).

For flowering, you'll want more power, and the ratio of lights is reversed (3 soft for every 1 daylight).

150W HPS Lumens : 15,800 x 8-32w cfl lumens : 2400 - desired 10000 lumens per sq ft - looks good enough............... il let you do the math
