Most will tell you more cfl's is better. You should have enough, barely, but enough. If you can add reflectors, it will help a lot. I'm finishing flowering right now with 3 26w cfl's. Plant ended up 29 inches tall. But I used a lot of reflector.

Yeah it should be enough for one plant.

How far away is the plant from the light?
Is it a low ryder strain? Maybe lowryder strains are not great with CFLs.

mylar is not so hard to find, and white paper works better than tin foil

If you can get some reflector above, that would be good. Foil isn't bad, not perfect, but you can twist and wrap it pretty much anywhere. Painted white and I think it's a great reflector.
