Confused on CFL's

At the moment growing outdoors they look great but its far too long till harvest maybe another 5 months?
So i wish to grow one highly expensive plant in my closet. I have trouble deciding so im hoping you guys can help me out on CFL's.
What wattage should i get the bulbs and what light should they be?
The strain is Auto Flowering from what i know they go straight to flowering, please help im stressing here need my medicine.

this helped me out

If its autoflower I would go with at least a couple 23-29watt cfl's from the 2700k spectrum for now. "Look on the back of the package." Thats whats recommended for flowering, if you wanted to veg get something under the 5000-6500k spectrum or you can mix them like I did. Check out my box in my sig if you want to get an idea, also there's a really good sticky about cfl's around here somewhere.

Edit, You beat me to it kiz lol. thats the one.

If its just for one plant you could go either way.....as in getting one high powered CFL, like a 105w or 150w, or you could go with a couple small ones.....really your gonna want at least a one 42w and maybe 2 or 3 more 23-24w. Really there is endless combinations you can do with CFLs. I mix it up during my veg and flower but you always want to stay on the right side of the light spectrum. Meaning if your vegging you want to have more 6500k bulbs and flower you want some 2700k. I mix it up but thats just me.

why would you bring them inside? they are autoflowering which means light cycle dont matter its age is what matters, even if you keep the others outside every one of them(including the inside plant) will start flowering on its own at just about the same time. the sun beats the hell out of hid lighting the way hid lighting beats the hell out of cfls. leave em all outside!!!

forgot to say too, bro, you are gonna have to invest way more money than its worth into it if yu try to do big plants using them and using enough to get *expensive*worthwhile dense nugs, cuz with cfls you should surround the plant with as much light as possible and tie the big nugs down and surround on all sides. if you do want to do something like that get a 400w or 600w hps, they are much more effecient and if you look around on here and compare plants growing under a 400w hps to those growing under 400w of cfls and you'll really see how much better hid is. no offense to cfls or nothing they are great sidelighting and for small grows but after 1 grow using hps you'll be hooked and see what i mean.

I just want to be sure Auto flowering will go straight to flowering so i will not have to wait till October but in a few weeks, right? and can Auto Flowering plants be cloned?

no, they cant be cloned. An autoflower will flower under any light cycle, you wont have to wait till october, they will start flowering about a month in, give or take a little time.
