Need a good light fixture for my grow box! HELP!!

Hey guys, I plan to start my first grow soon (4 auto flowers 2xMi5 (fem) 2xBlue Himalaya Diesel (Fem). My grow chamber is approx 21.5 W x 42.5 L x 50 H (approx 26 cubic feet and 6.2 square feet) . I'll be using 2 1/2-3 gallon pots depending on how tight of a fit it is. Using two 120mm pc fans for exhaust/filtration (blowing into homemade activated carbon filters) and one of the same 120mm fans on the opposite side at the bottom for intake.They are rated at 69.7 cfm each will this be sufficient? I'll also have a couple clip on oscillating fans inside teh box for circulation. My main question/issue is that I need to find one 10 socket light fixture that can hold 10 of these inside of this box (fastened to the top) or two fixtures that can hold 5 each ( will most likely be using y splitters ) http://www.lowes.com/pd_46931-75774-L65TN_0__?productId=3197521&Ntt=42+watt+cfl&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3D42%2Bwatt%2Bcfl&facetInfo= ... so 10 x 65 watt 2700k 3900 lumens each for veg and flower, 5 in each fixture the fixture can be no longer than 20 inches 21 TOPS . I'm having trouble finding a fixture that can hold 130 watts per socket!! If there's an easier way for me to set them up I'm game... I can cut holes in the top of my box to put adapters through I just don't want more than 2-4 plugs. I suck with wiring which is why DIY is pretty much out of the question. Thanks in advance!

p.s. for nutes I plan to use the FF trio Blackstrap Molasses and Organic Root Stimulant, I'm assuming this will be more than enough since autos don't need much? I'm going to follow an altered version of the FF feeding schedule starting at 1/4 strength and working my way up to 3/4 strength max. I planned to start the root stimulant 1 week in and stop about 1 week into veg, will this be okay? And I'll probably start with light feedings at 10-14 days depending. Plan to start my tea once a week at week 3. For soil I'm using a mix of 2/3 FFOF 1/3 FFLW mixed with 1/4 Perlite.
 
Ok so long story short. I need a way to hang 10 x 65 watt cfls inside of my 21.5 W x 42.5 L x 50 H grow box without it being a safety hazard. I was thinking 2 light fixtures no longer than 20 inches that can hold 5 lights each, but they need to be able to hold 130 watts per socket... Or are there any kinds of adapters I can use? an EASY diy fixture perhaps? Originally I was going to use two of these http://www.lowes.com/pd_122251-1811-VB1-3WW_0__?productId=1125967&Ntt=122251&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?Ntt=122251&facetInfo= with y splitters... but it says the fixture can only hold 60 watts per socket? So I'm guessing it would go boom if I tried to stuff 130 watts per socket o_O.

p.s. the lights are only 4"x4" which to me is highly surprising for 65 watts and they put out 3900 lumens each at 2700k! These will be okay to VEG and flower my autoflowers right?

You sir are the man and I would like to thank you for solving my problem post haste. + rep for you with this I can probably fit even more lights... the only thing is I'll have like 6 plugs because I'd rather not splice them... but I'll just glue a surge protector to the outside of my box, plug that into my timer and be golden. Now if anyone else could help me out with another question. My exhaust fans will have a total of 140 cfm (69.7 cfm each, pc fans), and one of the same sized fans for intake at the opposite side on the bottom, for a 26 cubic foot area, im assuming this will be sufficient ventilation? I'll also have a couple of fans inside to get the air flowin.

Okay so this is how I plan to set up my lights, I just want to make sure it's safe and not going to start an electrical fire because I'm no good with this stuff >.<... 2 of these surge protectors http://www.lowes.com/pd_117480-66906-UTPB3107_4294821871_4294937087_?productId=3306892&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_quantity_sold|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Surge%2BProtectors_4294821871_4294937087_%3FNs%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_quantity_sold|1&facetInfo= they will be holding approx 325-390 watts each 130 watts per socket via socket adapters (2 lights per socket) and l BOTH of these surge protectors will be plugged into an additional surge protector, does this third one need to be higher rated? or will it be able to handle all teh juice? I also plan to plug both of my 120 mm pc fans into this 3rd surge protector to get them all running on the same timer, will this be a safety hazard?

Ok I must really be tired, these 65 watt cfls are 6500k so looks like I'll be using 42 watters unless I can find higher in the 2700k spectrum.

Dank, how goes it? Hey I pretty much have the same dimensions for my box and here is the light fixturing I came up with... the light socket adapters I got at walmart for $0.98/ea, the power strips I got on sale for 3 bucks ea. and the cfls I got at the dollar tree, 2 for a buck.
