Question about lighting **Pictures**

Hey Guys, I have been growing my plants in a Tupperware box(1st Picture) with 6 cfl's lighting them pretty well and 1 fluorescents(6500k)(2 tubes) up top just for some supplementary light. I transplanted the little guys into bigger pots and now am going to be doing this lighting scheme (look at pictures) until they grow a couple more inches for me to raise the lights and put some CFLs in there. I have the 4 flouros almost an inch away. Is that good lighting for the next couple of days, or should i raise the flouros and throw in some cfls?

CFL's
4 23w (100) 2700k
2 43w (150) 2700k

Yeah I just want the plants to grow a couple more inches so theres clearance and then I can stick in about 10 - 12 cfl's. These flouros are 40watt each and 3050 lumen, 6500k color temp. Is that a good light though for veg? (I know the color temp is about right for veg)

6500k color temperature is perfect for vegging. No need for 2700k at this point until you are ready to flower. But you can mix them in, throw as much light at them as you have available.
