for just one plant yea you can veg with 3 cfl`s 6500k - 6700k

of course more light is always better

then when you go to 12/12 switch to the 4 2700k lights

but i would also throw in a couple of the 6700k to give the plant that multi spectrum appeal !!

Are the 100w bulbs 100w actual or 100w equivalent? Make sure you go by actual bulb wattage. If it is actual wattage it sounds like you have a good plan.

as many watts as you can fit without heat being an issue.. i can fit 3 bulbs 100W total in mine without it being extremely hot only because its summer time. winter time i can jack it up to like a little over 150W.. just use 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower as soon as you see pistols switch to flower bulbs

yes don't flower with cfl's I think you should flower under an hps or mh it makes a ton of difference I have never seen anything worth smoking that was flowered under cfl's not enough intensity to make nice hard crystaly buds just wispy leafy crap
 
of course an hps is better but you cant fit an hps in a pc grow box. cfls are fine. like said befor, the more the better. i have autoflowers in my box right now and i use 3 26w 64k and 5 23w 27k for 3 plants. i will probly use 1 or 2 64k during flowering and the rest 27k. i might even add another strip for my lights so i can get more light myself.

dude hes in a pc case i know mine cant hold no hps, i flower with CFLS and the bud is better quality then street shit goin for 300 a zip.. keep in mind in a pc the space is small so cfls are fine for such a small space.. i'm sure hes not trying to supply the neighborhood by growing out of a pc, i yield just around oz dry every 2 months with autos... i'm not a heavy smoker and every harvest holds me till the next.. check out my sig for my current pc grow
