I've seen people grow 3 plants with less than half of what you're using. Looks good so far.

yeah that's plenty but if you rigged some reflectors up to the back of the cfls you'd then get the full 170 watts of light onto the plants rather than half radiating into space.

Yes u can have high power lamps that will burn or will be over kill.
One clone doesn't need a 600 watt hps but a 4x4 sog would love it.
