Daylight CFLs are hard to find

I've been trying to buy some daylight CFLs to use to vegging but I can't seem to find a store that sells them. All the small hardware stores here in San Francisco sell only the soft white ones. They have ones that are unlabeled, I guess they have a neutral color temperature, so I currently have a couple 2700K and a couple unknown CFLs on my plants. I might just buy some from Amazon, they have 42w 6500K bulbs for $8.99. Hopefully I can find a store that sells them, so as not have to wait for shipping.

Anyone else have a lot of trouble finding good CFLs for vegging?
 
ebay bro they have everything.
if that doesnt work maybe a 4 ft flouro setup.. 1 cool and 1 warm bulb gives a perfect daylight spectrum
 
Ya Walmart all the time for the 6500s . Shit I had a hard time finding the damm Y adapters to fit 2 bulbs instead of 1. Its hard to grow , all the stores you gotta go to. I tried Lowes, HD and Menards, Walmart was the only one for the 6500s. Getting sick of everyone in the store asking me if they can help me find something, its bad enough going through the check out with that stuff.
 
Menards around here has special on daylight cfl 6-packs for something like 7-8$. Hillbilly, i'm glad to see you must be from the midwest somewhere. Seems like most people here are from the coasts
 
I went to Walmart too and got 6 of the 26w bulbs and then I also went to 1000bulbs.com and picked up a 125w bulb. Now that I am in flowering I did the same thing. Went and picked up 6 of the 26w 2700k bulbs and ordered another bulb from that website again. So far its worked out pretty good.
