6400K is the blue and 2700 is red or flower
would Red make my plants more bushy? and what about the bulbs that are Bright White? what is the k rating for them and are they a balance between Warm and Daylight ? because I am looking at a box and its between both of the,

You want the blue 6400 for veg which makes the plants veg real good and stay bushy then you need the red or 2400 for flower to trigger the plant to flower using the red spectrum of light.The ones your talking about I think are 3200K and not really used ever

aaa well I am using 2700k on them right now and they are getting loads of new branches on it and I can't realy tell what branch goes to what side because I have about 2 to 3 branches in the middle of each plant

Yeah thats making the plant stretch up it branches in which you want to happen in flower.You dont want to have that happen in flower as you will get it during flower as you get 2 weeks of growth stretch when goinginto flower..I typed 2400 a bove but was to be 2700

well its not that easy, I have done that but they don't have what I am looking for because most of the info on the web is American based and I live in Canada so things are a bit diffrent

IE - a person sayed that her 13w CFL bulb put out 850lumes but the ones here in Canada so far that I know of put out 900 Lumes (about 69lumes each watt usage)
