CFL light question

ok so I used to know all this shit about growing but stopped getting on these forums and forgot but i want to get back into it. I know I want to use cfl's and only want to grow about two adult plants only to a height no bigger than a foot to a foot and a half (stealth grow). So my question is how many cfl's of what wattage do i need to get decent buds. should i use 23 watt or 40 ect... and how many of each? Also how many lumens would it take to flower both of the plants .

In a 14"x14"x24" box, and a good scrog or lst, you can get 50g or so with 6 of the 23w bulbs. That's the smallest box i've grown in yet. Definitely check out the CFL forum, you'll get a better idea of what to expect from dudes who grow with them primarily.

well sometimes depending on the brand anywhere between

1200-2300 lumens

2300 is the highest ive seen

1600 seems to be everywhere
