Right now I have an hps light for main lighting and lots of 6500k cfls to supplement. Im going to flower soon, would it be best to use all 2700k bulbs or a mix of 6500k and 2700k?
FYI 6500k are daylight, 2700k are soft white.
I also have 2 'plant growth' tube fluoros on the other side.

Im using 6500k and 2700k both for the whole stretch. I figure as long as they have a good output and spectrum, it cant hurt.

During the seedling and veeging stages you want to concentrate on the blue end more...so say you have 5 lights...4 should be 6500k and 1 2700k. I went with 5 6500K, and 2 4100K...AMAZING growth.

Actually i just noticed you said you had an HPS...just use that during flowering...a few of the 6500K cfl's won't hurt.

I bought some bulbs awile ago and bought daylight for veg didnt pay atention to the k value. But i looked last night and they are 5900k will these work as good as the 6500K? If I add any Ill look for some 6500K.
