light change for flowering QUESTION

today i changed my setup around to start flowering my two plants. I changed my nutrients to a higher phosphourus and lower nitrogen ratio. I changed my lights from the daylight 2700s over to the soft white 6500s switched the light cycle and messed with a few other things but i was wondering if i should use all 6500k lights or should i keep a few 2700s in there still? i have 7 lights total....
feedback would be awesome, a few pics of my setup are in my profile

2700 k for flowering
6500 k for veging

i currently use 12 2700k bulbs, 6 6500k bulbs and a 150watt hps for flowering
basically red for flowering and blue for veging

There's no consensus on mixing different temperature CFL lights. For flowering, most people stick with all 6500k, some like to mix in some 2700k.

There's more evidence that sticking to all 6500k in flowering produces better results, and more people do this, but no one has done any solid comparisons.

You'll get good results either way. The main thing is to make sure you've got enough light output.
