Yes, I already purchased them however on the box it does not state the kelvin rating. I've tried looking on there website but to no avail. I already tried searching the forums.

well an easy way is to just plug in the bulb and turn it on. if its a blue light it most likely is in the 6500k range and if its orange its around 2700k.

there 3,000.. they assume your noob and want a 'normal' spectrum light
the daylight boxes for the bulbs are typically light blue/white, and will say daylight

I have all three kinds in my hands right now, shall I scan them?
Here is the website of the products i see in walmart and home depot: n:vision products: energy saving compact fluorescents to meet your lighting needs. - Spiral
Three different colors ... the blue is 5600k for vegging, the green is 2300k for flowering, and their red is a mid spectrum 3500k which is useful for nothing really.
The colors i'm referring to is the color of the package ... NOT the color of the spectrum.
Marijuana needs blue light spectrum (5600k) for vegging, and red light spectrum (2300k) for flowering.

wrong if you bought a dalylight gv cfl its 23w then its a 5000k bulb i know because i own the 4pk of spirals thats the rating and might i add there perfect to start with even end off with besides if you buy a cfl and its k rating is only 2700k or 3000k just add a t- model flou tube which usaully has a wider spectrum and usaully operates at 5000k and you will be good however id use a soft white mini which gives off 2100l but only has a k value of 3000 so id just add a t fixture which would be just enough to flower. Most not all t tubes are rated at 5000k but alot of them are

Hey, can we get a little bit of punctuation please?
Anyway...
I use warm whites and daylights in conjunction with each other in a 2:1 ratio.
Veg - 2 daylight to 1 warm white
Flower - 2 warm white to 1 daylight
This ratio works really well for me.

All you have to do is look at the bulb and if it looks yellowish/red then its 2700 K if it looks blue then its 5000K - 6500K if it looks neither than its probabaly a cool white or halogen white 3000K-4100K. Its pretty easy actually
