For flowering you'll want at least 50w/sq ft. so you're looking at 1100w as a good starting point.

If you're getting new stuff anyway can I suggest flouro tubes instead of cfls exclusively. HO (high output) T5s and T8s are very efficient bulbs, have much more penetrating power then cfls, and are usually available in more spectrums. Just something to think about.
