Get a CFL some thing thats "dayLight" 6400K
as for how many watts you need. That depends on how many square feet your growing in. I use 50 watts a square foot. some people use more some use less.

cfls are a pretty good, and rather cheap way to light, one thing tho you should switch from the 6400K to i think its 2600 or 2700K for flowering. as far as how many watts per foot squared that depends on how big/well you want your plants to grow. most people suggest 100W per square foot, or something like 3 or 4000 lumens per plant, i cant remember how many lumens exactly... im somewhere between 40and 50w of cfls per square foot thats like 3400 lumens per square foot/plant.

if your planning on flowering under the same light, disregard the cfl's, and get an hps system at least 250w. cfl's are ok for seedlings and clippings, but thats about it.
