I've seen some great grows done with CFL. Your issue is only having 1 125 watt bulb your coverage is going to be extremely limited. You would be better off having gotten multiple smaller bulbs you can place around the plant where needed. I'm not sure how much you smoke either, but your harvest is going to be meager. Maybe a half oz at best. Is 3 months worth of work and looking after a plant worth a half a zip? That's up to you.

Growing 12/12 (straight into harvest from seed) is a fairly common way of growing for SOG growers without clones, it all depends on the grower and the setup but perfectly acceptable yields can be had from growing this way

- i tryed something of this nature with six 26w cfl and one long growlight from home depo from seed to harvest..
(be4 i start,i like to think of it as a experiment,and i read somewhere "remember to have fun with it" and i wasnt let down by the results keeping that in my mind) and it was my first grow
now for vegging
i used the long growlight horizontally and 3 of 6 cfl's
connecting them with sockets hanging in a old kitchen cabinet
and the all six during flowering.....(im laughing at myself rite now explaining it.....but its more funny when people say it dont work)

yes you can, but you'd get more flowering if you added a couple of 2700 K bulbs, even 23 watts would do.
