u should check out hps for that setup the biggest cfl i think is 300 watts and thats not enough for 60 plants
 
to do that many plants expecting a 0z from each cfls will n ot cut it.You will need way to many it would make more sense using a hps

for 60 plants the cost of cfls would not stand up to cost benefit it would be cheaper to buy high grade smoke and not worry about growing it . for the amount of light that you are talking you would need atleast 1000w. but i digress i think you should do it seeing is believing.

Thats a pretty hefty grow man. thats nearly 4 pounds.

You are going for 1800 grams.

Now for a gram/watt ratio. People that know what the fuck they are doing. Seemingly more than you (no offense).
1 gram/watt is very good. I'd say .5 gram to watt for a few grower or just the average grower.

Now with this said you are looking for at minimum 1800 watts. Safer would be closer to 4000 watts.
