I don't see anything wrong with vegging with both spectrums. The sun has all spectrums and that is what plants prefer most. I flowered under 6500k and got 78g from one plant.
But, with that space and that amount of light only count on like maybe 2 plants making it.

you're gonna want more cfls for that many plants man..
just to let you know there is a 150 watt hps right here for 32 shipped. And 150 watts of cfls will cost the same for electricity and have much less lumens.

if you are only using that many, i would suggest using all daylight bulbs...one over top of each plant, and 1 in between each plant, put the pots as close as possible...that will run you 7 lights for 4 plants or 11 for 6...
