i found this http://forum.grasscity.com/photopost/data/3322/DSCF2866.JPG
dont worry about lumens, worry about training correctly and keeping it from stretching
therees also one where u take indiv. sockets and put em in small 4"x4" peices of wood. these are connected by a lil peice of sheet metal so u can get the CFL's around your plant. Lumens isn't the issue with CFL. the issue is only 1 ft of foliage penetration. be sure the spectrum is right and you will be a success. 6500k daylight(not daytime 3500k) is for veg, and the daytime or any orange bulbs for flower. gooood luck!

im saying with CFLS its not lumens thats the issue, its being able to manuever them around your plant because they only penetrate 1 ft of canopy
