Hi
The problem with fluorescents is that wilst excellent for staring off seedlings and getting them going for a short time. They soon dont provide enough light. With a larger plant the light penetration is just not good enough, unless used perhaps to supplement natural light from a window. If artificial light is the only source of lumens, then only a fraction of the plant can be covered. Whilst this may be useful as a way of overwintering a few plants, it will not be a good way to flower and ripen fruit.
All the best
