With CFLs, first off understand that they are marketed with something called "equivalent" watts, keep in mind this means nothing when it comes to MJ growing. Only go by actual watts. Don't use bulbs less than 23 actual watts (those are the 100 "equivalent" watt bulbs), lower wattage CFLs are so weak that they won't provide usable light beyond about an inch away. You will want a bare minimum of 4 of those 23 actual watt bulbs per plant, more would be better.
