Once you find the right spectrum (K) does wattage matter?

Ok so for vegging I want some CFL's I found the 6500 and 2700 to help with flowering but the wattages varried from 14 to 100. Can someone tell my dumbass if it makes a difference on the wattage once you have the spectrum settled on?

Ultimatly, more watts = higher yield. even cfls used for additional spectrum lighting. For vegging you want 6400 spec(blue), 125w or 250w. What lamps do u use to flower?

yes but EVERYONE seems to do 42 watt 2700K cfl lights, so have I just found a secret stash of 60 to 100 watt cfl lights? even in seemorebuds book he uses 42 watters
I am using t5 reds, and some CFLS too for the sides
