Will this be enough lighting?

[gizone1]

I just started growing a couple months ago, and I had a plant started outdoors, but it got too cold outside so I had to bring it indoors. It died almost right away. Since then, I've gotten new lights and I was wondering if they'd work. I just put them in. There's a 24 inch 17 watt T8 fluorescent lamp I got from Lights Of America, and 2 40 watt Soft White bulbs set up. I'm only trying to get one plant.. but do you think this is enough lighting?

Hi, The soft white bulbs are they CFLs or incandescent? Incandescent are useless for growing.

Alright. Well do you think a plant would start with just the 24 inch grow light? Or should I replace the incandescents with 40 watt CFLs?
