PC grow case: 3rd bulb or no?

Hey guys,
I just completed a grow case and have the seeds on the way. I currently have 2, 26 watt, 2700k cfls and was planning to just run those for veg and flower. I just found a bigger, 42 watt 4100k bulb laying around the house. I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to get another splitter and hook up the 3rd bulb for veg or possibly take out one of the 26 watt bulbs and replace it with the 42 watt bulb for veg only. If I have all 3 I feel like it will be way harder to control temps. Any thoughts?

in your situation i would probably just swap the 42 with one of the 26 watts if heat is an issue, will make a difference
 
thanks, i just tested it out and it gave me a headache cuz it was so bright. do you know of anything that takes care of headaches?? haha :blsmoke:
 
for veg you need to get a few 6500k bulbs higher the watts the better, they give off a more blue light which they need for veg but id also use what u have already. more light the better.
 
yea i think im just gonna get the 6500s. I was trying to make this low budget and read you can use only 2700s if you want but i didn't realize how big of a difference it made in just brightness alone. thanks for the input guys
