Plants can't actually see lux. It's a measurement designed for the human eye.
They see PAR.
140 watts of cfl should be cool for a couple of moms.

This becomes complicated when measuring multiple points of lighting. I don't think the meter will answer your question. Trial and Error, here, I believe.
