CFL grow box comments?

So after much research and threads on here I finished my grow box and started the project. I picked up some Purple Kush and Blue dream clones (one of each) at my local dispense and set it up. Its been about a week and the clones are looking healthy and are about 7 inches tall (pics coming soon).

I have the box well ventilated with a fan that pumps air in and out through a carbon filter. For lighting I have

2 1650 lumens 5000k CFLs
2 1650 lumens 2700k CFL bulbs
1 4200 lumen 2700k bulb
for a combined total of 10800 lumens in a 2x2 area with a space blanket over the front to preserve light.

I plan adding another 10,000 lumens soon would that help?

I water them 3 oz each every two days with a small amount of grow nutrients and root booster. So what do you guys think?

Thanks for the advice on the lights, also the fan has been doing a good job of keeping it cool. I check the temperature frequently with a heat sensor and it usually reads around 75 degrees. Been thinking of flowering the plants for a quick yield when they get to be about 10 inches tall but I was also thinking of flowering sooner than that. Would the yield be too low to do it any earlier?
