Aim high, not just to get away with it, or you will miss all the heavenly glory. By asking the question you know the answer already I feel.

I'd personally want more illumination, but I'm no expert on lighting.

Howdy Stranko....I'm taking a guess..You'll have about 7000 lum's out of the three bulbs?..You didn't say the size of the grow room,but you should have at least 2000/sq foot.4000 or 5000 is ideal from what I've heard..You will have to was the heat build up in there also..I found that out for myself...I also use the three gallon pot's, working well,but I'm on my first grow. By the way... Welcome and happy Growing..
