My grow box and upgrading lights...

I recently finished my grow box. For those who want to take a look check it out in my journal:

I was getting high temperatures during the day so I added an extra pc fan to blow out and I put a fan in the closet to keep a better air circulation.

Anyhow, right now I have six 27 watt bulbs @ 5500k (2 per pot). I recently planted my first seedling today and wasn't sure if these lights will do the job once they sprout or if I need to replace a few with high wattage.

If I get any new lights they would have to be 42 watt.

So my question is, can I get away with the 27 watt bulbs or is a higher wattage necessary. I see some people mix up their light spectrum as well. If I get a higher wattage bulb should I go for a different spectrum?

Thanks for all the help!
