Thanks! I enjoy reading these boards, I'm glad I've finally joined.

Anyway, I was planning on using only about 4 sqft for the 10,000 lumens and 3 plants. If I needed the other 16 sqft, I could expand, but I was just saying that was the space I had to work with.

So, since 10,000 lumens is a little skimpy, I was thinking maybe I could use 8 [30w/6500k fullspec/2000 lumen] CFLs? That would be about 16,000 lumens for 3 plants/4 sqft.

For flowering I still need to stick with CFLs, but I was thinking I could use a different spectrum of CFLs, maybe 3000k and under, and increase the lumens to around 24,000. Does this flowering business sound like a good proposal? (These numbers are assuming that I have 3 females, which I probably and almost definitely won't. So with that said...)

I plan to have 5,300 lumens for each plant (vegging), and 8,000 lumens for flowering; with CCT adjusted accordingly (meaning high K/CCT for veg and low K/CCT for flower)

Thanks in advance!
