what size closet are you working with. and please explain your 3 dimensions. l x w x h?

you shouldn't so much worrry how tall you can get your plant because CFLs have terrible penetration. so the top of the plants will bud nicely but the underneath will suffer greatly unless you use some kind of supplemental lighting. your plant will grow as tall as you let it veg ( i assume, and you know what that does) if you keep the lights on it. you'd be better off working with smaller plants that will require basically no veg (2 weeks if a clone, a week of two longer from seed) and will bascially turn into bud on a stick if you don't LST or top or something.

you want a minimum of 5000 lumens per sq foot.
