Default 2700k cfl...What kind do i need for flowering?
Does anyone know what an exact name and brand i could buy 2700k cfl bulbs at either walmart, lowes, or home depot?

I read that the 2700k cfl bulbs are listed under warm white...or something along those lines.

If someone could give me a specific name and brand i could find these bulbs at (preferably a local or easily accesible store) that would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at a good portion of the boxes for the lights but couldn't seem to come across anything with 2700k. I mean i found more than enough of the bulbs that i'm using for vegging right now (26W 6500k Daylight CFL bulbs), but no 2700k warm light cfl bulbs.

I have the same problem your having bro, I've looked everywhere in those stores and cant seem to find any. But im thinking if you go to a hydroponic store there should be some there. Don't worry most of the people in those stores are chill and will help you for a sale

I have gone through all of them can't find shit. Unless all the growers here keep selling them out or something. Or possibly a ban in some certain areas maybe?

noway you got to be missing if your not finding any cfl's. the new pres is on a energy kick and cfl's cut enrgy use. ask someone where the cfl's are. Here there are big ass displays in every store.

wow Don't know what to say. do they say warm or soft,daylight. here is a chart that might help.
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."

Yea man i've looked at the back of all the cfl light packages and there's no specs for color spectrum. The only one ive come across with color spectrum amount is the "Daylight" cfl bulbs that say directly on the package 6500k right to the left of the bulb or bulbs in the package. What am i looking for besides "Warm" light that indicates a 2700k cfl light bulb?

I dont get why this is so difficult to find if i could find my 6500k Daylight cfls that i use for vegging, but can't find a 2700k cfl light? wtf
