Dont go to walmart they don't really have what you want.
http://www.1000bulbs.com/ has a good selction of lighting. If you don't want to pay the shipping go to lowes or home depot, they have the right 42w 2700k bulbs you want. I think they put out about 2,900 lumens.

For your next grow make sure you top your plant. You could have a much bushier more compact plant. Altho that kola looks niiiiice. :D Hope it continues to fill in. Looks like you've got a hybrid leaning towards indica there that got stretched out a little bit. You can always get the lights closer than they are. That's my biggest problem right now. & if you really want to increase your yield, get a bigger pot! I recommend a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's. They are $2.50. Drill some holes in the bottom for drainage. My plants took off when I put them in 5 gallon buckets. :blsmoke:

Yea your gonna wanna switch those bulbs to 2700k if you havent already.
I find best results when using cfls is to always have some of each, during the transition i gradually switch over bulbs. in cali from time to time they have subsidized CFLs dirt cheap. i found some boxes of 4x23W 2700k and the same in 6500k for $2 each.... so i bought the 10 max.... for 3 days in a row.... but i found when using say 10 cfls, leave one or two till the last couple weeks of flowering. This always gives me nice dense buds. I also use foxfarms with all nutrients (in a soil and coco fiber mix) and add about a teaspoon of sugar per gallon of feeding. Does exactly the same thing as molasses.
