best cfl lights for 2x2 grow

For standard size CFL bulbs: 23 watt minimum is preferred. I won't use anything lower. I like a total of 100 watts+ per plant, and when flowering, I increase the wattage 25-50 watts per plant more by adding more bulbs. (Or 50 watts per square foot in veg, 65 watts per square foot in flower) And remember, look at the ACTUAL CFL WATTAGE! Never pay attention to where it says "Equivalent to 200 watt Incandescent" That doesn't mean it's a 200 watt CFL.

I haven't used the big CFL grow bulbs yet, so I can't comment on their use yet.

Have you considered led, just saying if you start from scatch 200watts of cfl is around $40 then sockets and ys another $40. Top led 48*3 watt panel $100 replace cfls every year keep led at least 5 years.
I have switched from cfl to this panel and its perfect for 2'by 2' and the results are much better.
Either way I know your gonna have fun.
