Using CFL isn't the best. I would save the money and buy a HPS bulb.
You can get by veg with some CFL's, but to get the most out of your plant and make it worth it a HPS is really the way to go.
could be the difference of 1 ounce, or 4.

HERE'S A GOOD DEAL OF HPS LIGHTS

Peace.

Yes, all of what you asked is correct.
I think it is just a personal preference to mix.
When I started growing with CFL's, I used a mix of 5000k and 2700k to veg and it worked great.
Right now, I dropped the amount of 2700k I am using and bumped up the 5000k, but I have 2 plants vegging this time.
 
Thanks for the help guys
I have the lights with the reflectors around them like the one from wall mart. They are doing great look like little bushes, i need to figure a way to provide more light within the nxt week. Thinking about power strip with adpters so i can screw the bulbs in but only problem is hanging them?,,,
