Welcome to the forum. SeeMoreBudsUsed 8 42watt cfl's to flower three plants. He got 8 oz of dried bud. Its all described in his book, Marijuana Buds For Less. Yes the 6000k's are the ones you want for flowering. Lots of folks have posted journals of how they did thiers and I've been encouraging folks to include pictures, I'm sure some of them have. You might want to take a look at a few of those, maybe ask a question or two in thier threads. It lets them know we appreciate what they are doing. VV

When you are vegging you want to use blue spec. bulbs. ie cool white, daylight ect. these bulbs will have a k spec. value of 5000K or more. 4100k value I belive is full spec. and 2700k is a soft or warm white bulb which is a red spec. You want to use red spec in flower.
I hope this helps. If you other questions try the grow faq. this is very helpful.

You could just put them side by side while lit up. Blue spectrum looks blue and red looks red when they are next to each other. Then go as told blue for veg and red for bud, Simple
