switching lights out on my shop light

I've got a 2 and half foot tall plant, two weeks into flowering, under a shop light in my closet. During vegging I had two flourescent lights that were called daylight and was 3050 lumens and 6500k spectrum. Just today I changed those out for two new tubes that were 2650 lumens with 4100k spectrum. The new tubes seem much hotter than the daylight tubes. I am afraid it may be too hot and don't want to damage teh plant. Does this setup sound ok or do you think it is too hot?

4100k spectrum with about 2500 lumens is right for flowering right?

2700k is what youre lookin for iirc.

yes bro, 2700k soft white is where it's at for floros during flowering.

damn, i dont have the money to get that right now, should I just switch back to the 6500k till then or keep what I got in there?

You can keep what you got, but I do not reccomend flowering with 6500k it's the wrong spectrum.

would u recommend the 6500k or 4200k just for another week? thx

Just go another week of veg until you get the 2700k soft white.

I jut got back from Lowes and the lowest spectrum they had was a 3000k one. They did not have 2700k soft white . Does anyone know where I can get one?

Eh bro 3000k will work too.

FYI home depot sells the bulbs you need for about $2 each.

I saw at Lowes they were selling some individually and unmarked but wrapped up, and I could not figure out what spectrum or what kind they were exactly, i this how the 2700k ones are sold? If not I will go pick up the 3000k ones, thanks for all teh help!

They all should be in origianl packing. If you can't find the 2700k just look fot the ones that say SOFT WHITE.
