Default Hairgrass and Baby Tears Light Requirement

Is three bulbs of 14watts equivalent to 60W 6500k enough to grow hair grass or baby tears? Or should I add 1 more bulb? Take in mind that it is a 20 gallon tank and 12inches in height. I was afraid another bulb would be too much light considering the fact that the it doesnt need that much watts for penetration.
