yea man that should be enough for now, i'm no expert so others please correct me if i'm wrong - but i'd say they'd be fine until your plant grows its 3rd set of leaves? then if you can, replace it with a more powerful light. i've heard of people growing nice enough bush with just a couple CFL's so i'm sure you'll be right if you can't replace them any time soon...
goodluck, s12:rastasmoke:

I'm no expert either. All I can say is my guess with you growing in a tiny space (at least it sounds small) with limited light I believe you'll get some small buds. Enough for a couple good times. Good luck, and I hope it grows more than I said - I have my fingers crossed for you!

Sounds like a plan for disaster. Is your dresser big enough to hold your plant if it gets to be 4ft......5ft ? If you dont have tons of light , chances are it's gonna stretch or grow larger to compensate for that. The smell might be a problem too. Other than that you may have a chance...I hope it all works out for you. Goodluck

The height of the dressor is about 30 inches and iam using some string to bend it...i have alot of growth on top but below that is very minimum. this way i can move the light down closer to where it is needed.

with the lighting that you are using, you wont have a monster grow, just something that will be on the personal grow. this grow your doing now will get you ready for the next grow.

1 thing , plants need air, so do you open the drawer often? or is the back of the dresser cut out with a fan blowing on your plant
