It's never enough! Ideally, you want to mimic the intensity of the sun. Have you seen any pics of plants grown outdoors? They get huge! How big do you think they will get with the 3 cfl's you got there? If your resources are limited to only those lights you already have, you need to capture the intensity of them. With a light meter you will find that a 2000 lumen cfl only gives off 2000 lumens worth of intensity within 1-2 inches of the bulb. The further the plant from the bulb, the less lumens available for it to bask in....... If you want to harvest anything at all, you are going to have to group those bulbs and place them within an inch or so of the plants leaves....... Keep temps down and you'll be fine......
