I plan on going to home depot and getting some long shop light cfls, do those work out good, i wanna grow about 4 plants
T5 is the way to go if you're going to use CFL. I clone and do early vegetation under T5's and then move to a HID for large veging and flowering. T5's bro. I don't know that you can get them at home depot, but give it a try.
With CFL lighting, I find that more is much better. I run those 8 tube 4 foot fixtures. The plants love them, but you need to keep the tubes no further than 2 inches from the top of the plant. I don't like to get closer than 1 inch, so you have to check frequently to see that you're in the sweet spot.
