get a set of 6500's for veg stage and a set of 2700's for flowering stage. if you can manage it get a 150 w hps setup or a 250 watt hps setup for even better results...

if all you can afford is the two CFL bulbs I personally would go with one 6500k for veg and the two 2700k for flowering seeing as though you really don't need that much light to carry smaller plants through veg. If you can though, I would try to go with a HPS if possible like pmumbry said. I searched craigslist for a while and found a killer deal on 250W sunburst convertible hood with 2 bulbs for $60. I also live in a very large city though... best of luck!
