hey thanks i plan on having 5-7 plants max in there...and maybe a mum plant too

Seriously?

10-12 bulbs in a 2'x2' room?

That's alot of bulbs in a very small space.

seems like a lot.
I have 3 6500 k bulbs for now and add as they grow

Why not just go with a t5 fixture or low wattage mh lamp. Seems like you would be spending similar money on buying a shit load of cfl's
