Proper lighting.

Hello, just a quick question.
Right now my setup is 2 plants under 3 CFLs.
Now that they're getting bigger, the 3 CFLs aren't enough to provide light over the entire plants.

I don't feel like buying more light bulbs today, so my question is this. I only have 1 more lamp I can throw in there, and I only have 2 bulbs on me. I have one of those really small CFLs (13w) and a normal 100 w incandescent bulb. Which would be more beneficial to use here?

I know the CFLs have a better light spectrum, but I already have 3 in there, and I'm thinking the higher wattage of the incandescent might be better in this case.

I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Bump..

To paraphrase the question, would a 100 watt incandescent be better or worse than a 13 watt CFL?

(I realize both are crappy for growing, what I'm wondering is which would be LESS CRAPPY)
