how do i tell which type they are before i go out and buy the wrong one lol.

if your going to buy cfls made for growing then it will tell you if not and your buying household cfls then cool white for veg and warm white for flower, blue is alot brighter to the eye! you`ll know as soon as you see them!

Its not the color of the bulb, its the color temperature which is what your looking for

6500k - for Veging
2400k - for Flowering
6500k/2400k Mixed Spectrum - for flowering as well.

thank you this helped me as well

whats that 2400 and 6500 stuff? lumens?

so should i get the "daylight" type cfl bulbs for flowering?

those numbers are
spectrum
I just bought some today
I got the daylight(27,000k)
and the soft white(55,000k)

I hope 55,000k will do instead of 65,000k
