i messed up a bit and realized im using 2700k cfls to veg instead of 5500-6500k, will this make a huge difference because my plants seem to be doing quite well to me?
2700k cfls for vegging

They will actually do well in any spectrum the sun gives out...when I used CFLs I mixed it up with 2700k, 3000k, 4100k 5000k and 6500k...my raptors are runin' a 4200k MH and I veg and flower just fine with 1 bulb...well actually 4
as I have dual bulb raptors that run 2,000w each...and there's 6 of those 
2 in each room

If you can make a hood of the 2-150w CFLs and then get some 23w 2700k CFLs (walmart $24 for a 12 pack) and hang them all around them at different heights...my buddy Bakatare666 is growing some killer ladies with CFLs...check him out here https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/416589-12-12-seed-thread-1135.html he's got lights everywhere...

The old turkey tray trick huh...lol...I've done it and pie pans...lmao...but check this out, for 16 bucks you can get a piece of sheet metal air duct from lowes and make a few awesome hoods on the cheap
and the refraction is much better, like looking at a spotlight...just a thought...but either way good luck man...and hey, welcome to RIU...
