WOW, Now I am confused now. lol.
My plants are now in Flowering stage, and I had them under Soft white CFLs. So today I just went and bought new Daylight CFLs. From what I understood these are what you want for flowering. These daylight cfls are 27 watts used, 100 watts equivelant. They put out 1,300 Lumens. I sure hope these are the correct lights.

So now for 3 plants I have (3) 27 watt (100 watt) daylight cfls, (2) 46 watt (150 watt) soft white cfls, and (1) 48" T-5 light. I think these lights should work ok for flowering, right?

i think those softwhites are exactly what u need. but the daylight cfls will make a good addition. over all it sounds like a good combo to me.

They should still grow, but you should try and get some cool whites that are in the 4000K spectrum. Check out this image that should help you out a little bit.

if you plan on flowering all 3 of those you need 3 times as much light as that or your going to be dissapointed.

I started with a 2700k CFL and I am still using it with some blue current lumen ratio 6000 = 3000lm red + 3000lm blue.
