I think this is what you are looking for.

and I agree, anything but cfl,s or led,s would be too hot to that area

Yea that's the one, is there any cons in growing the plants this way?

I'm gnna use 2 23w 6500k lights per plant during veg. Stage

Then 3 19w 2700k plus 1 6500k per plant, during flowering.
Sound about right?

The CFL's I have are 19w warm light (2700k) 1200 lumens. I have 12 of those. I don't think ill need them all with a h p s How can I set this up to get the most efficient grow in this box with 4 plants? Rating: 5

I grew my pineapple express that way - The only con is she did turn into quite a room hog - But I got a little over 3oz of bud from a 12 week grow - So I'm happy with that, overall height not including the 5 gallon bucket was about 16", she was tied down like crazy though, a spiral all the way around, and all the large branches were pulled out to keep the canopy even.

I currently have 6 more in my box, none are spiraled but they are LST'd (just bent over and tied down) alot less patience, but they seem to be growing just fine - Spiral is cool, but I like putting 2-3 plants in a 5 gallon bucket, and if you spiral them, you won't have a very good time with that many plants
