With a 7' ceiling you should be able to mount a real light in there. 400 Watt combo MH/HPS should be just what the doctor ordered.

ya deff daylight bulbs are 6500k on the color spectrum and are more of blue tint and for flowering u deff need 2700k bulbs they are more of a red color and are the best for flowering. daylight for veg...soft white or cool white for flowering. makes a huge difference

Color Temperature (CT) - Color temperature, which is measured in Kelvin, indicates whether a lamp has a warm, midrange or cool color appearance. "Warm" light sources have a low color temperature (2000-3000K) and feature more light in the red/orange/yellow range. Light with a higher color temperature (>5000K) features more blue light and is referred to as "cool."
