Will 5 Cfls 6500k 26 Watt each and 2 32 watts 6500k flourescent light be enough to grow 4 plants and get me a lot of bud?

nope i would say use the 6500ks to veg some plants like 5 and hope for 1or 2 female.. If you can only use 7 CFLS i would take the 1 and get all 7 bulbs the 42w 3000k and you should get some pretty good bud.... 4 plants is pushing it with that type of lighting..... Im not saying you couldnt grow 4 plants and get loose fluffy bunk bud thow!!! lol if you want dank with cfls 1 or 2 plants to 7 cfls 23w or more prefferably the 42w ones.. or even better the high power 125w or whatever but they are a little expensive...

there are many online stores that ship discretely
I beleive Home Depot has smaller wattage hps... maybe 150 watts or so
How big is your closet?
4 plants can yield quite decently if grown proper and lighting is number 1 IMHO..
