Question regarding color spectrum

so after searching several hardware stores i finally found 42watt soft white CFLs. now i would have liked to have the warm white because the light produced has slightly more red that’s needed for the flowering of mary-j. but it was a struggle to find 42 watt bulbs locally which im still very baffled by but life moves on.
i found that the color spectrums that each bulbs emits differs just slightly, 2700K VS 3000K warm white VS soft white respectively. This seems like a minute difference but to an engineering student such as myself, its a huge issue. what are some of the differences that i can expect to see in the plant? will it be less potent then if I had the 2700K warm white? how will the bud formation differ, and will it need more time to flower?
