hi im new to growing so im gonna need alot of help. ive already started after awhile but i hit a few problems. i dont know if im doing the lighting right. i have a 2 foot flourescent light which has 20 watts, 4200k and 1200 lumens . then i have 3 table lamps. one 15 watt flourecent lamp, i dont know the lumens or the kelvin. one 14 watt table lamp which i also dont know the lumen and the kelvin. and another 23 watt table lamp and yet again i dont know the kelvin or the lumens. i was thinking of buying 2 42watt, 6500k cfl light bulbs from here :

to replace the table lamp bulbs. or should i get the 40 watt lights with 5000k from here :

im not so sure about the florescent lights though. the big white 2 feet light says that the lightbulb is a t12. im not sure if i can buy a t5 and replace the bulb in there. if any one can give me advice on that that would be great. if the t5 lights could be used in the housing i have now i would probably get one of the higher end bulbs here:

and lastly the flourecent table lamp. i have no idea what the size is. it's like 1/4 of the diameter of the 2 feet white flourecent light. if anyone could tell me what to do with all my problems that i have that would be great. this is my frist grow so i hope it'll turn out well.
by the way i have some anglematic autoflowering feminized seeds from the ministry of cannibis. i know what some of you are saying. "oohh autoflower, what a noob." yeah its my first grow so i kinda wanna make it easy. like i said again any advice would be extremely helpful. money is an issue for me here, im in quite a tight spot so i cant buy any fancy HPS bulbs or anything like that. im putting off some brand new nike id's that ive been wanting to buy for awhile now so i gotta make this project work.
maybe i should just buy these:

and
http://www.amazon.com/Brite-Wing-Wattage-Fluorescent-Fixture/dp/B001VOCUOS/ref=pd_bxgy_ol_img_b.
would that be better?
The pics will show the setup i have now.
