14000k CFL pile of crap?

I bought two 130w fittings with CFL bulbs without really doing research at 6500k and 14000k, they were both listed as good for vege growth on ebay.
Since my seedlings didn't like the 4 x 55w tray sold as a clone and seedling starter but i am not sure what lumen it is measured at..
So i have switched to just the combination of these two CFL's and my babys have a tendency to lean towards the 6500k bulbs.
Which ever pot is directly under these faces straight up where as the ones under the 14000k lean towards the 6500k.
I must ad I am very inexperienced in growing and almost lost my girls after over watering early in excitement.
But yeah going to switch the 14000k bulb to another 6500 or 6700 now I am actually learning more about the bulbs

Hey all. Sorry for my bitter title but i bought this globe orignially as i thought and read a few things good about it. Now after a more in depth research it appears its only good for marine plants. I have 3 globes and all are 125w. 2700k, 6500k and the 14000k. I only have 2 holders for these and am about to start vegging maybe one or 2. Any advice people? Thanks to those that take the time to write their opinion.

14000 k and 25000 k are anything but a pile of crap the spectrum is the most ideal spectrum of any growlight aside from led the spectrums, or maybe induction but a very similar spectrum to induction can be acheived with these. HID lights and 6500,3000 floros all have shit tons of green or yellow more then anything and some almost no 660nm or even 640nm wich is the one u want for cannabis. loook at spectrum below. usings these lights or idunction you can custom build the perfect spectrum by adding high power leds or intergraded 50 and 100W (tons of penetration) you can end up with a lighting set up that is better performing more efficient and longer lasting then any other light out there. for penetration to compare to HID, induction would need to be used( f**ing insanely efficient) along with higher power 10W or intergraded leds. the green spectrum is used in plants which most people dont know but only in small amounts and only with other spectrums and proper ratio. but MH HPS 6500, 2700,3000k floros alll of those put out wayy too much green some are mostly green which is why a perfect efficient spectrum can not be built by adding leds with these. you would end up with 50-100W of hid for every 1000-1500W of led
