I have 2 autoflowers going and I need to know which type of cfl light to use.
Also, I plan on putting 8 23 watt cfls on the 2 autoflowers and then 8 more on 2 regular feminized plants that are vegging.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Everything I've been told/read tells me to use the veg spectrum (6500k) for a few weeks before switching to flower spectrum (2700k) for the finish. The higher the watts for cfl the better. For my autos I'm doing 18/6 but I have heard that 20/4 may be better (not for the wallet though).

I would use 2 23w@2700k +6 23w@6500k for vegging and the opposite for flowering.You can use the 5000k bulbs if you want but keep them as close as possible without touching.Do some research on t5 florescents,growers are getting great results with these.mho.Good luck
