Would using a single 250W CFL bulb above two plants (3-4 inches) and 6 23W cfl for side lightning (3 on each side) be enough light for auto flowering seeds? What size area am I looking at to be safe with heat and space? I'll be using exhaust and intake fans. Going for 2700k with the 250W and mixture between 6400k and 2700k with the other 6 bulbs since it's auto flowering. Thanks for any input :)
 
Sounds good. I guess these plants will top out at 2 feet tall? Consider dropping the 250 watt vertical between the 2 plants in flower, with the smaller lights vertical on the outside of plants. More efficient use of light. Beer can reflectors for the 23 watts would be helpful too.

I have 6 small plants going in 2x2x5' tent, so you can get 2 in that easy.
