I have one suggestion: CFL's produce a very poor source of light at a very low efficiency compared to HIDs. You'll be paying more and getting less at the same time with CFL's as apposed to using HID's, and I think it's best to acquire a more powerful light sooner rather than later
I agree with donkey, CFL's are fine for veg, but flowering is much better with a HPS, if you only doing a couple plants you could get away with a 150w or 250w HPS, there are some cheap ones out there like this sun systems 150w, check it out... sun system 150w hps

CFLs suck even with veg.
They work fine, My 3.5 ft tall mother plant is under a 200w 6500k sunblaster, She grows like crazy, and is very healthy.

It doesn't matter though. CFL's are very inefficient compared to a MH/HPS HIDs, irrespective of growth phase. Recommending CFLs for any growth phase over an HID is most probably a mistake.
No question HID's are better, but they are more expensive, and generate a lot more heat. In a 2x2x4 tent heat is a concern especially if your not or can't air cool the light.

You two totally missed my point, but that's ok. lol All i said was that cfl's work fine for veging 1 or 2 plants, i know, i use a 200w cfl for my mom plant in a 2x2x5 tent, where as the 250w MH i had originally generated too much heat. That is why someone would use a CFL over HID.

No. You said HID's generate more heat - we're saying, actually CFLs generate more heat.
enough said, your just a troll.
