:) 2700k is the way to go for flowering. I would suggest you buy at least one 32W 6500k in order to thicken your plant..

do you have a pic of the plant?

how close is the light to the plant?
and with the 3 lights you will be able to flower and get bud, but remember more light = dense and more bud

ok well in a day or 2 with another leaf set or so you can get thos lights about 1inch or less from the plant just make sure you got some air in there moving around. or maybe a small computer fan blowing on the top of the plant where the light is closest. i have a 40w cfl about 2cm (less than an inch) away with 120mm 3k rpm fan blowing air in the the entire grow room (which is small check it out in my sig) and i have no heat problems.
