Bro you can use cfls to veg, just make sure they are at least 100w and the daylight spectrum. It allows you to keep the light right over it and you'll find that node spacing will be kept tight. I get the hood lamps with clamps and just hang them from the rack in my closet directly over the plant. The key here is to make sure each plant has it's own hood/clamp light fixtures. If your grow is small it works out brilliantly. Here's a picture of my plant during veg. Flowering is a hybrid set up.
Good luck!
