is that 150 watt equivalent? And by everything you mean? If you know nothing about growing then you need to start reading.

thats why he is asking, dude, this place we help growers, I myself start all my seeds outdoors so I dont know this very, but he is here for help not for someone to tell him he needs help -.- come on
https://www.rollitup.org/f/cfl-fluorescent-lighting.75/ is the link to the CFL portion of this forum.
http://rollitup.org/f/indoor-growing.49/ is the link to the general 'indoor growing' with subsections for other lighting types.
CFL's can be used from start to finish with good looking results, just takes work keeping the lights real close. I use LEDs and T5's, but I have used CFL's on seedlings with good results.

Let me make this easy, any of the commonly used lights will work, size to between 5000 lumens per sqft and 7500 lumens per sqft. Cheapest option for best result is usually HPS + supplemental florescent. Add 6500k and UVB bulbs for the supplemental and you should be pretty well set. No more than 3-5w per sqft of 10% (there are 5% versions) UVB. Supplemental should be 25-33% the watts as the main HPS.

you can grow with cfl for about one harvest at which point you will throw them in the bin and buy a hid (jokes)
