no

but i read on RIU somewher that it wouldnt hurt so since im only ganna grow 2plants and that one 125w 5000k might do the job since it has 2700k and 6400k kinda mixed 2gether

You would have much better bud growth with something in the range of 2700k -3000k. I would make that change first, then just add some more cfls, also in that range, if possible.

Minimum

Get 3 sockets, veg with 2 higher k, 1 lower k.
Flower with 2 lower k, 1 higher k.

Minimum
