Are there different spectrum temp.'s of CFLs that u can get? I noticed people talking about 2700k and 5000k CFLs for veg and flower. Do they make a big difference? Or could i just rock some regular CFL's with the correct lumens for my sq. footage? Thanks guys

For Veg In my opinion spectrum is crucial. 6500K (k=kelvin) is great for veg. Myself I use a mix of CFL's
But...
in flower you need the intenisty that a HID produces whether it be a metal halide (MH) or High Pressure Sodium (HPS) is whats needed to get the yield most growers want...but flos can work well....(check one of my recent grows if ya wanna see what flos "could" do...others have done AMAZINGLY killer grows under flos so check those out too ;) )
 
anything with a spectrum of 5000+ would be ideal for vegg and 2100k perfect for flowering note your not gonna get big yields with cfl's but you get BUD!:D
