cool whites no good at all, floods are good if they're warm white all your light gets focused onto the plant. Daylight is best by far but you need some warm white for flowering so for an all purpose, warm white is what you want.
probably not, my guess is they're 3500 K, best to get the real deal, know exactly what your buying.
Look at this chart and see why:

the ultra bright lights i found are called ultra bright soft white light there 40w cfl and 2600k but i just found a 45w cfl and it says its 3000k could i use 2 of the 3000k or 45w cfls would that work for one plant its gonna be like 4 inches off the plant i just donno because it says to use 6500k for vegging but is 6000k ok?
yeah, they're all good. Cool whites the bad one 4100 K, nothing will grow with them. Look at the chart, 6000 K is great.

I went to wal-mart today and snagged the GE 42w (150w EQ, 2700L 2700k) T4 CFL. it didnt say what kind of light it was, but i figured it was daylight because ive seen many growers on RIU.org use it and recommend it.
i just went on GE's website and it says its softwhite...did i fuck up?
