If you've decided on using CFL's that's fine, they are best used in enclosed areas with reflective material (ideally using maylar).
It would help if you gave quite a bit more information as to your grow set up.
Say for instance you are using a stealth cabinet you might be using a mutltplug with converters for your CFL's.
For the first 2 weeks you want to have your lights on 24/7 until you have a strong little plant, from then on you have two lighting times: 1 for the veg period, 1 for the flowering period.
For the veg period you want longer periods of light, a good time is 18-6 (18hrs on, 6hrs off)
When you are in the flowering stage use longer periods of dark, 12-12. These are the lighting times I use for photoperiod plants, if you are using autoflowering seeds you will have to ask somebody else as I have no experience with these.

i dont think you read growing 101 on this forum lol..

you know because you changed the light cycle..

6400K for veg, it is up to you when you go into flower. 2700K for flowering.

Use 6500K for vegetation and 2700K for flowering. The plants need blue spectrum while vegetating and the red/orange spectrum during flowering. If you want to grow fatter buds, use an HID lamp instead of CFL bulbs as the light intensity and lumen/watt are much better. However, heat can be a problem when using HID lamps, so proper air-circulation is a must. MH lamps provide blue light, while HPS provides the red\orange. Hope this helps.
