Lighting question

ok here's the 411 , I whent to the mud bogs and when I came back I lost 3 flowering plants , almost lost the bigest plant , so I decided to throw my flowering plants back into veg because I was starting to harvest 3 weeks early (6 week strain) and I was wondering if I could take the lights I have for my flowering area and use them in my veg area? and if so how much of a difference would it make?

veg

5 15w , 6,500k , Daylight , 900 Lumes each
1 10w , 6,500k , Warm White , 900 Lumes each

flowering area
6 13w 2,700k , warm white , 900 lumes each
1 42w 2,700k , warm white , 2,700 Lumes each

i agree, the mixed spectrum is better, but at the same time when you add the total cost of all those cfls you would be better off just getting an hps that will be wayy better and also give you a higher yeild! i just got one off ebay that is hps & mh for only $129, but it doesnt come with the bulbs. its def worth it though!

the cost is $0.25 a day to run the lights but it would cost more to run that 1 light and fans to cool it and I don't buy things off the net btw
