I am planning small grow 3 plants at the most and aa small tent so i dont want kilos of buds im doing this for fun mainly and for some friends at another forum so I am just planning to have a good time and learn from it, thats why I chose a small tent, 60 X 60 CM:s, 1.2 meters in square.
This is also why I chose the CFL, because wallet restraints and also simplicity.
For such a small grow I hope that the CFL will work? I plan to get 2 different ones, one for vegging and one for flowering. Red and blue.
Thanks for all the welcomes, makes me feel happy!

the lights your planning to use will work fine and will give you some killer buds ,
I am using a BIG CFL bulb, 250 w single lamp, these:
http://www.hydrogarden.se/ljus/lagenergi/
And as supplemental light a 150 W hanging light for foliage, so I am not going to use party lights or anything like that. Theyre called CFL grow lamps and are rather new and most people use your methods so this advice is sound, I am sorry i wasnt clearer.

Yes my thoughts exactly, this is why I chose the CFL option, its cheaper and it delivers in a small area, I knew for a larger grow that it would be insufficient, but I am planning a smaller one. However I am getting the 80 X 80 CM grow tent instead, because I can always get more lights, so its a valid option for me as well. These CFL bulbs are a godsend because they have installed ballasts, which are otherwise vey expensive. Also easy to replace.
In the meantime, here is my work area, two 72 W cfl light installations, perfect for handling and nurturing cannabis plants. Also in my livingroom, my arts and crafts, yes sirs I paint:)

I have a new question. For the CFL Bulb, will a regular hood do? I am thinking of getting this:
http://www.hydrogarden.se/ljus/lagenergi/lumii-lagenergi-kit-200w-bla-6500k.html
They also have this as an option:
http://www.hydrogarden.se/ljus/lagenergi/lagenergi-lyx-kit-250w-bla-6500k.html
Which one would be better?
Also if the first one is okay, Im getting that. Just tell me what you think?

Well this is a downer. The stores all said its cheaper and cooler than a HID, but that wasnt the reason I bought it. Ive seen people use CFL lights HERE, small bulbs and many of them. It seems to work. I work on increasing the light if needed but for my growspace I was told it was enough by members here so I am sorry if I made some mistake but I couldnt afford a HID and the CFL seemed a good alternative. No one objected. Well, now I know I guess...

OK, I get it but this was already something I did know as it turns out. The stores said the CFL 250 W put out about 10 000 lumens, for a 60 X60 CM growtent that should according to another member here be enough for my needs. I will only grow 2-3 plants at the most and the light fixture barely fit into the tent. I was amazed by its size. Ive seen other growers use smaller CFL bulbs for 2 plants and that seems to work out, not that I needed to build a mock growroom inside a closet, it just seemed to me that the space I grew in was adapted for this rather large darn light.
So will 10 000 lumens be enough for a 60 X 60 Cm growspace? I can barely fit 2 11 liter Plant It Dit pots inside and the light covers the entire space and is actually darn bright, far brighter than I expected.
I could supplement it with a LED rack on the side, in fact 2 of them if need be.

Thank you dearly for that nice post agamote, that cleared up a lot of questions. I did notice that this huge damn lamp puts off a fair amount of heat and that my soil had turned to desert while I was away, I didnt think it would run that warm so I guess the part about heat wasnt an understatement, although I remember that the stores said the lamp puts off 10 000 lumens, I dont know if that makes sense but if I believe agamotes here which I really do, then my light gives off far more than that? Well Ill go to the manufacturers website and check. Anyways, thanks for the post, I had also noticed that some growers used 55 W bigbulb cfl:s for their growth and that seemed to work.
Thanks:) And It will be fun to watch this argument.
""You're going to want at least 3,000 to 5,000 lumens per square foot during the vegetative period.
4 x T5 HO 24 Watt tubes will give about 7,600 lumens (and use about 100 Watts), which is about 760 lumens/foot².
250 Watt compact will probably give around 19,000 lumens, which is about 1,900 lumens/square foot. "" - Hoisted from another grow forum..
I couldnt find anything from the manufacturers website but this may be a hint as to how powerful the light is. Anyways, this is interesting..
