I have 4 65watt cfl's maybe six inches or so from the top of the leaves and 2 45 watt cfl's lighting from the side. i did have a 70 watt hps about a foot above the ladys but took it out thinking i would rather use it for the flowering is that good thinking or no and is what i have enough light? and does anybody know what an ideal temp. range should be mine are going from 70 to 84 F is this ok?

those lights will be ok. you can use a hps for veg. unless you dont want to use the electricity.

yeah 70-84 is fine. cooler temps at night are better.

now my leaves are starting to wrinkle a lil bit and the plants are growing slow. i dont really want to get a ballest but if i have to i will. i have been feeding them terracycle mixed with distilled water. i found out that thers is a hydropnic store about 20 min from my place.

I know a very inexpensive seller on ebay. You can get the full setup, 400wHPS ballast, reflector, 400wHPS bulb for $100.00, you can get an additional 400wMH conversion bulb for the same ballast for $125.00
Let me know if your interested.
But it doesn't sound like you would have the room. For a very limited space, CFLs are definitely the way to go.
