@IndigenousOrganics,I've seen attempts to grow cannabis under 35W CFLs, but I don't know if any of them were actually able to grow it to harvest. You need very little light for seedligs and not much more for veg. At one point, I considered doing something that would get me closer to a "perpetual harvest" and I looked at lights like that for the seedling and early veg phase.
Their problem is light intensity. At each stage of its life, cannabis (including autos) needs a certain light intensity or it will simply never reach it. Having all of the wattage in the red spectrum may do it as flower requires a lot more red, but ultimately it depends on whether or not the light ca n put out enough energy for the photosynthesis needs of the plant in flower.
I'm not sure if it can. If you look at those lights on Amazon, you'd be hard pressed to find one that can put out more than a couple hundred umol/s of photosynthetic energy. That's enough for a seedling or even to veg, but not enough for flower where the plant needs 600 umol/s just to flower and more to finish.
Can that small light put out that much light intensity even in pure red? If it can't, nothing you do will make that plant flower until you provide it with more light. Maybe you need to be resourceful here and make a trip to the hardware store for a CFL bulb to fit a standard fixture, then attach the bulb to a desk lamp and use that to help finish the grow. That's one option, though if you go that route, makes sure it puts out the right spectrum (I think you need more "natural" looking light in flower and not "pure white" types of bulbs).
You'd be better off sticking with the sun for now if you have nothing else to supplement with, rather than reducing light by putting it in the closet on a 12/12; it doesn't need 12/12. It needs more light.
