keep what you have for cfl's right on top of that baby. You'll find your adding more and more light as you need. Your first grow = experience for your next grow. I use all CFL's as well and I find the smaller 26w seem to function better for spreading the lights around. You just have to adjust them all the time so they are 2" away. I just finished up a pretty sweet grow using 500w of CFL for 4 plants. My first grow I used 364w for 3 plants and got over 5 zips of killer dense colas 
When you use CFL's you can NEVER have enough light.
Good luck

sorry but this chart is very wrong for weed in veg and flower you should never try to use a 400w for a 4x4 footprint
a 600w just covers a 4ft x3ft for good quality dank bud

a 125w cfl and 4 26w would just cover a 2ftx2ft
have the 125w 4-6" above top of the plants and the 4x26w's round the plants facing any good bud sites (12-16" below the 125w cfl)

Just measured and after I cut off the closet the grow area is 1ft 7in in length 3ft in width and 3ft 8in high
i just started my grow and i have 8 23watters and a 125 wich gives me 305watts and 24 lumens. thats really i can fit into my 2ft wide by 4ft tall case i made. i will by the 250 watter when its time to flower which would give me 434watts and 36,800 lumes. its not 10,000 per sqr foot but thats the closets i can get it.

My opinion is that you will have plenty to veg but you should go with a 400hps for flower. cfl veg well I in the past have kept mothers alive with one 26w cfl I have also veged a plant in a 5 gal bucket while lsting it under 2 26w cfl. they veg nice if used properly. flower takes a buit more. if you keep your canopy even and put that 125cfl an inch away from the top of 1 plant you will get buds, not big ones but you will get them.
this is aimed at the op I can not be bothered to read all the other posts. hope this info helps

in a 3x4 room to flower a 400w hps will get the job done a 125w cfl will not, did I miss something? I just was answering the op's original question

I don't see where ther is anything that says anything about a 400w hps not helping in the op's post. I don't see where a 400w wouldn't help in a 3x4 room, enlighten me, maybe I'm just really baked or something but I don't see it

No correction necessary.
His trying to grow in clear plastic makes clear he does not have a clue as to what it takes to successfully grow any plant but There are too many people who believe you cannot grow or should not grow unless you do it bigger and better. To start small and learn as you grow seems to be taboo.
