Will three 75watt cfls be good enough to flower my plant?

I have a Hindu skunk sativa that is currently in week two of flowering. It's under three 100watt soft white bulbs. Will the change to the cfls affect the plant? I'm open minded so any advice would be great

the CFLS will be a lot better as it is better spectrum, and more intense light than soft white bulbs, but, I would double the amount of light your considering, and try and get a mix of 2700K and 6500K

To clarify, 2700K and 6500K are color temperatures. 2700K being warm colored and good for flowering and 6500K being cool colored and good for vegging. The color temperature will be listed on the box.

use the same amount of these new cfls as you were earler with the soft light cfls, like they said use a lower kalvin, just pretty much regular light cfls, 2700k its on the mini balast (bottom) of every cfl, good luck
ps.. oh an maybe throw one soft white cfl in there with the three other new bulbs, soft blue light will still help the plant

Yeah ok that helps. Yeah I am gona use 100watts instead of the 75s. Makes more sense to keep the wattage the same. The change to cfls has made my grow tent alot fresher. Will the coldness affect the plant?
