You have a good amount of light for one plant. When you start flowering you may want to upgrade with more cfls, but if not, I think you would still be able to make it work with those in flowering, depending on your other conditions.

You should be good to flower with that if your tent or grow box is small and reflective
I am doing two with 12 bulbs and my buds are not airy and more than two thumbs thick even the small ones
My previous grow i had the same lights 4 plants and alot more space with airy results
Just my opinion you can definitely do a small plant in tight reflective spot.
If you do it in a closet with all that open space ehhh it didnt come out well for me
