hi im a noob too lol

but as far as ive been reading, the warm 2500k CFL's should be used for flowering. white or "natural" 5000-6500k CFL's should be used for vegetating

The correct terminology is 'cool' and 'warm' cool=6500k warm=2700k

cant say I have come across soft, sound like lighting designed for wining and dining the missus not growing bud!

its just that all the stores around here sell only 'cool white' or 'soft white'
no warm white
so i was wondering if soft white and warm white are the same ,
the soft whites i get are 2700k
im thinking its just the way they label them

I just bought a few "soft white" bulbs. The 42w ones are 2700k, as it says it on the base of the bulb. The 23w ones dont say anything about the spectrum but emit a much more bluish light. Yet both bulbs are "soft white". I cant figure it out. All I know is I have a bunch of 23w that I will use for veg and then click on the 42w 2700k when it comes time to flower. I am almost done building my setup, I will post pics when done.
