Lowryder #2 x AK47 First time grow Need some advise please

This is the first time that I have tried to grow. I just ordered Lowryder #2 x AK47 seeds from attitude x3 feminized. I also got a couple of freebies that I wanted to try and grow as well. The Freebies that I received are as follows #1Royal Queen Seeds Special Kush #1 Feminized, Sweet Seeds Fast Bud Feminized, Sweet Seeds Speed Devil #2 Feminized and Sweet Seeds Green Poison Feminized. I was wondering if anyone could recommend one of those to grow with the Lowryder? I plan on growing 3 plants indoors in a closet that I will later have a picture of. It's big enough to grow 3 plants though. Below is what I was thinking about for equipment if anyone disagrees with this or has a suggestion that would be amazing.

Seeds: Lowryder # 2 x AK47 x2, one of the freebies I got
Germination kit from Nirvana
Flower tablets from Nirvana
Lights: Want to run with 250watts of CFL's not sure which ones to purchase yet. Suggestions? Heard 80 watts a plant is good.
Oscillating tower fan for moving around air and exhaust.
x3 9 Liter pots
Foxfarm Ocean Mix soil
LL Bean weather meter displays Temp & Humidity

This is what I have for right now besides the CFL's I know for a fact that I want to grow with CFL's I think it would be the easy way to do it. As I said this will be my first time grow so I am a noob. I am just getting way to sick of being a poor college student and paying out the ass for bud at my school considering the fact that it's all rich kids. Being able to produce my own harvest would be ideal so please if anyone could help me that would be amazing. I was also wondering if anyone knew how much heat would actually be produced from the lights so I can just get a better idea of how warm my room will be? I have the warmest room in the house already stays around 70 degrees itself. Thank you for everyone's time and I do appreciate criticism to a certain degree. This is a first time grow just to repeat

so you are growing while at college. In dorms or off campus? Roommates or not?
Better have better exhaust then an osc. fan.

No this is going to be a project that is done at home over vacation not in my dorm even though we do live next to the attic lol. I am able to get a better fan that isn't a problem. Suggestion on the lights? How many should I use?

I just started my grow journal if you would like to join in on it. The more people the better I would really like to make this a very successful first grow experience.

What size is the space you are growing in? Lighting is one of the single most important parts of your prospected grow here. Your total light output for HID lighting should be ideally 60 watts per square foot. So a room that is 4' wide by 4' deep would need 960 watts of light to cover the distance & be able to provide sufficient coverage for your plants. You could half the watts per square foot and get away with running 1 x 600 watt light for the space I have provided but you also have to worry about venting the hot air and an oscillating fan just doesn't have sufficient CFM's to do this.

One suggestion I will make is to pick up a good growing book for what you are looking to do. I found most of the answers of what I was looking to do in "Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible". I don't get anything for plugging this book but I've read a decent amount of texts on the subject of growing MJ & after all that I've read through THIS was the book that has helped me the most.
