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.

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.
