You can manipulate the size of the plant whith the size of the pot you grow it in and the time you let it veg.

If you keep them small 4 42 actual watts should be plenty. But you would not use the whole 15 sq ft.

I was thinking of getting like 10 bulbs Each of the 2700k and 6500k. Also the closet space is at least 5foot high.

no offense but it looks like your biting off more than you can chew, get like 2-4 1000w hps instead of cfls, your yield will be pitiful compared to what hps would do. the main reason people use cfls is cuz of heat and space issues, which you dont appear to have,
