Ok I was at the hardware store for parts for an ongoing project and I ran across colored CFL party bulbs. They are basically CFL's with a high temp latex paint coating. Would buying red and blue bulbs do any good? I mean would that really simulate the color spectrum of grow lights, or is it merely an optical illusion created by the way human eyes work?

Also I am ready for flowering and I have been reading I need to switch from Daylight (6500k) CFL's to 3000k CFL's. Is that soft white or warm or what? I am having trouble finding a good chart that lists what the different bulb temps are. If I find one I'll post it here.

ok I found a decent website with a chart listing rough color temps for light bulbs. http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/pi...ur-light-bulbs hope it is helpful.

P.S. still need to know about the light spectrum party bulbs will produce.
