I checked at walmart for cfl but all I see is the ge brand with nothing on the label that specify the type.
How can you tell if the bulb is daylight or not?

yea i got some 27w 6500k cfls at wal-mart, they look pretty much the same except on the front left of the package it says daylight 6500k, the other cfl package doesnt say that.

i ordered 6 26w 5700k bulbs on ebay for a total of $32.79 after shipping.
i have two clones on the way and six of these is more than enough light for the little gals.

check out ebay man, and wal mart does have lights liek that too, just try asking someone that works there what kind of selection they have.

is 6500k any better than 5700k?

6500k just has more of the blue spectrum, which is more ideal for the vegetative stage. I usually throw a few 5700k's in there though and it seems to help

I think you're trying to figure out whether it's warm or cool? If so, you're looking for the number with the K next to it on the package. Under 3,500K or thereabouts (i.e., 2700K) is warm light good for flower. Over 4,000K is bluer and cooler light that's good for veg. Daylight is cooler light and usually is around 5700K or 6000K. I don't know if that helps, but hope you find what you need.
