I am going to get a complete setup going. My plan is to convert one room in a house into the grow and bud room. I am going to use the closet as my vegetative/ cloning area with 2 200wCFL and bud with 2 600wHPS lamps. My question is how many plants and/or how much space can I utilize with 2 200w CFLs?
 
What is the reported lumen output on one of the 200 w cfl's. If it is around 14000 lumens, which is typical of the 200 W cfl's found in the US, I would say around a 3'x3' to 3.5'x3.5' optimal grow area when using both lights.
 
if there both 14000 lumens, you can grow maybe 14 in veg, they wont be the strongest but thats about the maximum for the 2 CFL's, but with the HPS you can grow 10 - 20 plants under two 600w
