Hi guys!
First time growing and posting. I went out and got myself a 6-pack of cfl:s. Then I got home and saw the guide about using 6500k for vegging. The bubls I got were only 4100k. How big of a difference is there in terms of result in between the two. What is going to be the actual result if I stick to the ones I bought? Thankful for any answers.

I found a similar thread....
Why can't you used 4100K bulbs?

Basically, you CAN use these bulbs, but they won't be as effective as the 6500k ones. Instead of exchanging them for 6500 k bulbs...better to get the same amount of 6500k bulbs to complement the ones I have.
Happy growing ALL!!

Add: Also notewhorthy...CFL:s don't give out as much light from the top of the bulb as from the sides

Well, I can tell you're new here.

Welcome to the forum, get rid of those 4100k bulbs, and good luck with your grow!

Yeah....I lie. A LOT. Especially about growing weed. I'm not into that. I just grow tomatoes.

First off, fluorescent is widespectrum so any color temp will grow plants.

6500k = short plants
4100k = medium plants
2700k = tall plants

4100k is perfect for growth and mothers.
2700k is perfect for flower.

^same as MH for growth and HPS for flower.
