Need help, to go with one 250 watt cfl, or 2 200's?

Hello to those who lurk the cfl forum. I have a question that I need answered as I am planning a trip to the local hydro store today.

If I were to keep 2 mother plants in a tent together would a 250 watt easily keep them growing fast enough to take cuttings from once every 14 days?

Also would passive intake and exhaust be enough for the 250, as I know cfl's are typically cool, but 250 is a bit of watts packed in a cfl.

If anyone doubts the ability of a 250 let your voice be heard because I am tempted to purchase another hood and purchase two 200 watt cfls and have one over each mother.
that would surely be enough light, but Should I even bother? 2 cfls would likely bring the heat higher then just the single 250 right?

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
You should be fine !!!! ample light for em how big are they?? if somewhat tall might wanna get 1-2 30-40w cfl for side lighting
 
Ya 250 will substain 2 mothers and give you pretty decent growth. They would of loved 400 though.

Good luck.
 
The probably would have, but I am glad I went with what I did as it fit well. I will post pictures when I am off the mobile device
