Well the big thing is over it is a female so you will not be waisting your time.

Of course you don't have a light meter so you will just have to guess as to how much you need. The more the better up to a certain point. I use about 35 watts per sq. ft of grow area. With one plant in a pot you basically have about 2 sq. ft. You can get by with 70 watts of CFL. The same goes for reflecting the light sideways onto the plant. A sheep of white plastic just hanging around the edges of the plant really works well at reflecting the light onto the plant.

The more of the light that shines on the pot the better. I few simple improvements can be had by simple stuff. I cut a hole in the middle of tenfoil pie plates and reflect the light from the bulb downward simply by placing the bulb threw the pie plate before screwing it in the socket. Some method of raising and lowering the lights helps a lot like ropes hanging from a pulley so the bulbscan be raised up and down really helps a lot also. CFL lighting tends not to burn the top of the lants and can be kept down to 4 inches from the top of the plant. You mentioned earlier that you had two bulbs. I would be burning then both on at the same time.

Do you have a fan that you can move the air with? What are you going to feed the plant with? You will need some sort of fertilizer.
