CFLs as grow lights?

Question:I am living in the dorms next semester at school and I have a dwarf meyer lemon tree. I really don't have a lot of room (or money), so would I be able to use compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs to provide my tree some if not most of the light it needs. If CFLs won't work, what do you recommend to use as a cheap way to set up and buy grow lights?

Answers:
fluorecscent light will work fine. Just make sure it is getting plenty of light. Flourescent tubes would probably work better than a compact but you can try it. If it needs more light, try getting an old fashioned work light and putting two long flourescents in it- if you can spare the space. Sometimes, you can go up high and find an empty spot. I know dorms are crowded so good luck!
