CFL Lighting

[Ausguy]

G'day there I have started my first indoor grow and I have a few little problems I hope aren't big :(

Right so here's the deal, I don't have money atm and have started a new job where my first paycheck will be in just over a weeks time.
I have already started the grow in a cheap box under 1 6500K CLF with 800 Lumens, this is the only globe i have so far.
I have 4 little girls who have just sprouted this morning.

As you notice I have a problem, now will my plants last just over a week under this poor lighting until I get paid to buy more CFL's and light fittings?

I plan on buying 10 23W CFL's with 1450 Lumens each.
I will move my grow from my small box into 2 Large 48L boxes (one on top of the other of course)

Will the plants last until I can upgrade?


Also,
If I buy CFL's Should i get a mixture of light spectrum? (half 5000K+ & half 2700K+)
or
Can I flower with veg CFL's? IE Change light to 12/12 and flower off 5000K+ bulbs that I used for veg?

Cheers for the help

Mind you;
The new box that I will be moving into is:

50 cm Length
35 cm Width
56 cm Tall

Will I have sufficient light for this small setup?

Only a small setup for simple grow not looking for major yield :)

UPDATE:

This is my poor current chamber i'm growing in, sorry about the quality its my phone camera. I just thought a picture might help.

Cheers :)

Kind of urgent, my plants are starting to really bend for the light :S are they going to die?:(

lol mate, looks like a setup i got like me own you can see my log too! . . .

They bend towards the light because they want more of it! :) Add another light m8 on the other side and they'll straighten out. They're just clammin' for the energy to photosynthesize.
