ohh and this is my first post :rasta:
Overlighting with CFLs?? LMAO... no it is not possible. Theoretically maybe, but not in any practical application.

Have you researched or read up at all about indoor growing very much? You may want to read about lighting again... You'll want those CFLs way closer than 2 ft! Many people keep 1000W HID lighting closer than you're keeping your CFLs (which run with very little heat). The reason you keep your plants far from the light to begin with is to avoid the heat. With fluorescents, you can keep your plant within a few inches of the lights. MOVE THEM CLOSER!! That's probably why you're not seeing growth.

But read up in the lighting section because I don't know much about CFLs... they may run a little hotter than regular fluorescents. But honestly I think fluorescents is a waste of time. I guess for some people fluorescents are better than nothing... and you could use them to learn on and then you'll have better results when you do get HID lighting.
