Hi, what is the best kind of CFL that i can use? I attached an image for better understanding...
I know there are different shades; warm, cool white and natural (daylight). I was thinking natural would work best. because its a very bright glow best represents the sun.

If you have any suggestions for what shade or brand I would love to hear it.

Thanks

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."

What he said.

Personally, I don't care if the box says warm, cool, daylight, etc. I always MAKE SURE that I get 23 watt 6500k bulbs for veg and 40 watt 2700k for flower.
