Mixing CFL colors?

Right now i am 1 week and 2 days into my small rubbermaid box grow and was wondering if mixing 4 42watt 6500k 2600 lumen bulbs with some 2700k 42watt 2700lumen bulbs. I would want to do this to add lumens, would this cause the plants to flower? Would i want to make sure to keep a ratio of 6500k and 2700k bulbs when mixing? Can i mix while vegetating and flowering?

lights will not make flowering.. flower wont start until you switch your lighting to a 12/12.. add away,

I wouldn't go more than 4 6500s and 2 2700s. Not because it will hurt anything but because you wouldn't gain that much. Actually for veg you have plenty of light. It is in flower you want to add light and have it at that time 70-75% 2700k.
