Wow buddy.. kill the caps please! CFL are ready avaiable at places like home depot, lowes, walmart...etc. Unless you live in a country people are scared to visit on vacation you should be able to find them local.
Secondly (and especially in a box) you should not be looking for the highest watt bulb you can find rather quantities of say 23w-42w bulbs. You can go bigger but you better have a good way to keep the box cool because they get hotter than you think. To veg what you have look for bulbs at 6500k.
Lastly... you obviously seem anxious here but do more research. Read everything you can find on this topic and plan out the grow now.

I like the enthusiam... and I know what you mean about the wife. I actually just finished a similiar cab but mine 4.5' long (roughly twice yours). I split mine into two separate chambers...veg & flower. I had two plants about 3 weeks into flower so I moved them into their new home and guess what..chamber full. Essential your space is too small for 4-6 unless you are really good and using a mini strain.
I currently have seven 23w cfl's, two 42w cfls, and a dual tube 4' fluoro running vertical in the flower chamber for two plants. All is well..
I hope that helps, here is a few visual aides...

your going to need more then 4 26w for 6 plants I have 250w of cfls on one plant and its enough but I wish I could get some more on it

also 10 gallons for 6 plants will be ok when they are small but the roots will completely fill that when they get bigger.

concentrate on the lumen output of the light not the wattage its the lumen amount that feeds your light the more lights don't add to the ovrll amount of them it just spreads them out more evenly

big enough for the mediums and for root groth but they go past the net pots over your lid in a DWC. the net pot can be 6 or 7 in round but the hydroton or what ever you may use (lava rock , hydromite, etc.) that what holds the medium i mean i got 6 plants on a 20 " by 14 in AND I HIT THE EVER TIME


that was last month veg , the time blue mystic just started
