^^ read that...its in this section...its long, but it has pretty much all the info you want. There is also a CFL growing section to read up on. best word of advice about light I could give in regards to CFL's is get as many as you can...and keep them 1-2" away, you will have to adjust daily. Post your questions as you have them, and provide pictures if needed, and always tell us what you are growing with/etc, we cant read your mind ;)

Expect an ounce per 100w of CFL, IF you're lucky. If your budget is small, then money spent on hydro equipment would be MUCH better spent on lighting and ventilation.
