lol thats such a odd question. because it just all depends on so much, but id say like..i cant do watts, but lumens id say like close to 20,000+ lumens. which really is like maybe 12 bulbs in veg maybe more, and a shitload for flower, had to read that one again hahah

veg to 5' would finish over ceiling height and you aren't going to do either as well with cfl's as you would with hps, that's a tree dude.

You would need a lot of CFLs to make it worthwhile so you would be better off buying a HPS light, minimum 600 watt if you want to make the most out of a 5 foot plant.
