you want to use daylight temps like 5-7000k for veg and warm/soft white for flowering (temps like 2-4000k). you can use the warm colors for veg, they just arent as effective, but you wont have to buy both types... id buy atleast 2 42watt cfl's to be used through the whole grow

yes you need some ventilation, and you should point it at the plants so the stems get sturdy to support the buds. Yes, the more wattage the better the yeild or i guess you could say the tighter and more mature the buds get. You want the 42 watt bulbs which are 150 watt incandescent equivalent, but the point being lights are the most important variable in growing.

yeah those lights' temps and stuff sounds good. you definately wanna be focusing on gettin the bulk of your lights in the flowerin spectrum because thats where it matters most. Alpha is right, you want them very close like 1 or so inches, but i backed mine off an inch or two cause i dont have the best ventilation in my closet setup and the tips of my leaves were getting burnt cause it was gettin too hot
