Hi everyone, i have five plants growing right now under two GE plant florcescents. They are 48'' bulbs producing 1900 lumens a piece and i was just wondering if they would be enough to get some decent bud. Any info would be great. Thanks!!

Yeah you will get something, a leafy/light as hell something.
Invest 30 bucks on CFLs, and it will really help that something.
You can do everything including cartwheels but nothing will compare to good lighting. 2 cfls' "aint it." Save up and either buy (alot) more of them or a smaller watt hps bulb. Lighting will make a BIG difference in your end yield.
good luck.
what kind of CFLs would you guys recommend?
See http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-li...ll-stages.html for some answers. Read other threads, especially the stickied threads.
Bottom line is this. If you've got access to a Wal-Mart, you can get clamp lights, Y-adaptors, and both Warm White (flower) and Daylight (veg) CFLs to take two plants all the way through for around $60-70. You can't really do it cheaper than that and you probably shouldn't try.
Really, to do a decent grow, you need some halfway decent soil ($10 or so), a pH tester ($5 at an aquarium store), a timer for your lights ($10), power strip...all sorts of things. It adds up. And, trust me, you can't scrimp and blow necessary stuff off. IMO, $100 is a bare minimum for a grow for two plants. Weed is...well, it's a weed. But there are a ton of ways to go wrong if you don't do your research and get what's necessary. Spending $40 when you should spend $100 is useless. You'll be throwing the $40 away.
