growing one plant question (NOT an autoflower)

hi,
would one 200w CFL, with 400w output and 10,000 lumen output, 6400k bulb with light-reflecting aluminum hood be enough to grow ONE REGULAR plant? (NON-autoflowering)
I have decided on medicinal strain that stays short, and is mostly (80%) indica. I was hoping that the light I am getting would be sufficient to grow this plant to maturity. The reason I don't want an HPS is because of the whole ballast thing; how I would need a separate ballast, and also I would need lots of ventilation to keep it from getting too hot.
thanks

Why did you make another thread....
because this thread is NOT about autoflowering like the other thread. This thread is about growing a NON-autoflowering plant.

Your 200watt CFL does not have a 400W output. That's not possible.
ok, tell that to the people at 1000bulbs.com who sell these lights. They offer several CFL grow lights, one that has an output equivalent of 400w, and one that has an output equivalent of 600w.

Why do you insist that a CFL bulb cannot put out 10,000 lumens? It's a fact that some of these CFL bulbs put out that many lumens. There's no "gypsy magic" involved.
So three of these small, cheap and environmentally-friendly CFL bulbs would have a combined output of 30,000 lumens. That easily rivals what an hps or metal halide can do.
