A mix of both spectrums. i'd add at least a few 26w 2700k a plant.also, in fact i'd just get a bunch of 26w or 30w per plant(4-6) and use more smaller bulbs to overcome cfls weaknesses of light intensity dropping alot just 3-4 inches from the bulb. If you surround the plants with small bulbs from all directions you will do much better my friend.

I've tried flouros of every kind. T5 is the best but they still stretch plants. The light has no pentetration. So because I was worried about heat, I have gone to just 3 grows a year and take the summer off. I use a 400w hps with no heat issues, and get much more yield in 3 grows than I used to in 4.
