What is the real difference between 6500k (daylight) and 2700k CFLs for flowering? I have 1 clone under 4 23 watt 6500ks and 1 26 watt 2700k bulb. I have these lights for my other plants that were vegged inside before going outside, but Im thinking about just flowering the clone inside with what i have.

I know that 2700k is what you should use for flowering, but buyin new bulbs really isnt an option right now. So what is it really going to change? Please dont post that i should use 2700k because i know this, just post what 2700k does better for flowering plants than 6500k would.

I think this could be some useful information if a lot of people throw some input.

Really? No one That visits the CFL Growing forum knows anything about the two spectrums?

well the 2700ks provide the red/yellow spectrum needed for flowering and the 6500ks provide the blue spectrum ( if you really would like a lot of detail on the spectrum you need a proper tutorial or a book it involves frequencies of light that go from low to high there by changing the light color its said that the blue 6500ks provide most of the spectrum but not in high concentration ) needed for vegetative growth, i have herd of a lot of people flowering with 6500ks (in fact i my self am tiring to flower with 200w 6500ks) if buying new bulbs is not an option you might as well start flowering your clones
