you need to get cfl's in the 2700k range for flower...6500k is for vegging...it can be used for flower..but it will give you a smaller yeild..and the buds wont get dense

yeah like dj said, the 6500k put off a different spectrum of light that the plant uses when its growing, and 2700k has the spectrum thats needed to flower... 2700k bulbs are alot cheaper then 6500k's from what i've seen
