Would I be better using the 100W and/or the 135W bulbs for flowering instead of the 42W bulbs since they are all 2700-3000K spectrum ??

go with the higher wattage,the bulbs i got are 1 125w,6500k,12,000lumen in a mogul socket and 4 42w,2700k,2,700lumen,2 y splitters,all running 22,800 total lumen at 293w. the lower the wattage means more u really have to buy and set up(fire hazard) but it will equate to the same wattage,lumen,ect...its just easier to get a few higher wattage bulbs and use your electrical knowlege to wire everything to be safe. i like to give a full complete spectrum of lighting bc i like the dense and fluffy buds all in one,ill vegg with all and flower with all,this way im at least some what matchin the same "color/spectrum" as the sun. u can go all out and just flower with a red spectum but you want to try to get things as close as natural bc a plant will tend to go under less stress(in my experience/knowlege) with natural conditions. if you are thinkin about goin with a spectrum of 2700k over 3500k,all this means is that the 2700k is just a deeper spectrum of red.plus havin the higher wattage bulbs,u only need a few and can place them around the plant and have the same intensity as havin a greater number of the lower wattages,all u really need to do is to think about your space and plan accordinly,no one can tell you hom many bulbs to add,its up to you and your brain to figure out what will work best and what will be the safest,i recommend to do some trials with your set up and some bag seeds to just see how they respond to the eviroment,and if all goes good you could keep growin them or scrap them and buy some seeds,i would go with an indica dominant due to the short stature and tend to be an early finishing plant,a sativa dominant you would need to train it with lst,and verrrrry carefully arrange your lights around a sativa plant. i hope this helps and clarifies it for you. i got to go take a shower now and go to school(college),its 630am now
