What is the size of the space? You probably need more lights..Go with an organic fertilizer for both VEG + Floweing, for veg you need more nitrogen, for flowering you need more phosphorus.. I dont reccomend miracle grow, but others will.. If you want 3 plants you might want to start with 6, that gives you a 50% chance you will have 3 females.. you may only end up with 1 female (unless you are lucky, IT COULD HAPPEN).. There are several websites devoted to closet growers.. I did a google search and found many most of them are using flourescent.. I will strongly suggest you get a HPS sodium lamp, or better yet a HPS sodium with a converter bulb for Metal Halide.. Let me know how it goes, I will be starting my grow here in a couple days in a closet that is roughly 5.5 x 2, I have 400 watts of Flors (5-40 watt fixtures with 2 bulbs) + 1 400 Watt HPS/Metal Halide and I am only planning on doing 4-5 plants..
1st Prize,
About the lights. SeedKing could not be more right-on the money, so long as the extra $150 for HPS is not problem for you.

I'm still learning but read that lots of people go from seed to bud using Compact Florescent Lights (CFL's). At $10s a pop plus bulb socket cost you can start with a couple and add on as plant gets taller.
Somebody might say your pair of what are they - 4 footers?? - is okay for now. Not sure on that, but they might.
umm....isnt it the otherway round with lights? cool white (more blue spectrum) for veg, warm white (more red spectrum) for flowering? and, it is a limited, minumum, 1200 lumes per square foot...das tht help you?
and...what are you growing? indicia...? i would recomend tht for a small space :P.
peace
