No that's not enough. If you look around, there are tons of threads about enough light on here. For the easiest low light plants you would want a minimum of one (1) watt per gallon.

Also maybe longer light too? I just read 10-12 hours.. Do you work from home? I'd keep my light on in the evenings so I can enjoy it .
