240W CFL's & 400W HPS for flowering?

I would not normally do this, but I am moving in the next few months so I had to take all my plants from the veg room and put everything in my flower room.

Normally I only have about 14 plants flowering, now I have a total of 30 plants, 4 strains and different sizes. Not ideal I know. Strains are, Skunk, B52, Papaya and Ice.

So I only have a 400W for flowering normally, with the extra plants I thought extra light may help, so I put the 4 cfls I had in my veg room into my flower room also. In the process I broke one 65W cfl and had to replace it with a 45W cfl.

Now I have in my flower room, 30 plants under:

3 X 65w CFL's
1 X 45w CFL = 240W cfls in total
1 X 400W HPS
= 640W of light prob about 60,000 lumens
also in room:
2 X box type osselating fans
1 X industrial extractor fan that leads outside (with carbon filter)
1 X 400w wall mounted panel heater (getting cold at night)

My temps are constants around 20 degree celcius and my humidity is about 50%
It's a high grade soil grow with lots of added pearl light. I use BioBiz flower nutes.

My question is simple, CFL's with HPS for flowering, what do you think?

As I said, not what I would normally do. BTW anyone know how easy it is to get seeds in Australia?? Thanks dudes and dudesses. :leaf:
