Flowering plants under CFL's seems to be a waste of time from the viewpoint of countless indoor growers. if it's all you can afford then it will work, but nothing beats a HID for indoor grows. However, if you're just vegging your plants under the fluro's with plans on moving them to a HID setup for flowering you'll be just fine.
As far as i know there is no such thing as a "quick indoor plant". A plant will grow according to the parameters that nature sets. The only thing you can cut down time on is vegging the plants, however flowering small cuttings or plants early on will reduce your yeild significantly.
Im only on my second grow, but from what ive read over the past 10 years or so you should veg your plants to at least 12-14 inches before placing them in flowering.

There are two stages in your plants life. Vegetative growth and flowering. Both stages require different lighting. 24hrs on 0hrs off is one for veg, 18hrs on 6 hrs off is another for veg. Your plants will see 10% more growth in the 24/0 period.
When your plants are finished their veg cycle (around 2 ft in height) you place them in 12/12 lighting. This initiates the flowering cycle which takes anywhere from 50 to 80 days.
Like i said there is no way to speed up the process minus cutting down your veg time. You can also take a week or so off when using clones but the difference is not that much. You cannot rush nature, that's all there is to it. There is no such thing as a quick grow, even the lowryder plant takes about two months to finish. The only reason indoor grows can be considered quicker then an outdoor grow is that you can control the photoperiod for your plants.

that's because 24/0 is a vegging photoperiod.

Also, they won't show sex until they are on the 12/12 light cycle unless they are autoflowering.
that's not true at all, all my plants showed their sex before i flipped them to 12/12.
Interesting. I've just always been under the impression that that wasn't the case and from all of the growlogs I've read through I've only seen it when people cut down growing time in increments before putting them in 12/12. Were they in 18/6 when they showed sex?

There are some very impressive CFL grows on display over at cannabis.com . Of course HID's are best but considering the circumstances CFL's grow some alright weed it seems.

my plants stayed in 24/0 until placed in 12/12. They all showed sex before flipping them. My clones im currently growing also showed sex waaaaaay before they reached 2 ft in height (although this is probably because they were cloned).
Not all strains will show preflowers in 24/0, there are some that require you to flip the lights before you can see the sex, but most strains left long enough in the veg cycle will show their sex before they are flipped.
As for the CFL's, like i said if it's all you can afford or have space for then they will work. However anyone serious about attaining maximum yields, density, and bud size will go with a HID any day of the week.
