EDIT:

Sorry I couldn't change the title. But what I meant is Mother/veg. Clones with have to be done else where.

I think I am going along the lines of CFL's (unless otherwise convinced to do T5 florescent). I have cab that will be dual purpose; Mother/clone on one side and Flowering on the other. Light leaks and ventilation will all be taken care of. The mother/clone section will be roughly 4.5 Cu/ft. As of now I for sure want to grow 2 plants (with a third possibly in the future). So this means 2 mothers and 2 (or more) clones needing light. I will most likely have the entire inside walls lined with Mylar. Painting it white wouldn't be a good option since the cabinet is made of a laminate that won't take paint well.

So with that said how many CFL's and watts of should I use? Also I know there are red and blue spectrum's so would I want blue for the veg/clone/mother? Would I want to mix them at all?

Thanks much!
