I'm a Noob and have a quick question about CFL's and flowering.
I have a 2'x3' closet to use along with two 48'' 40 watt Fluorescent tubes, two 42 watt Cfl's, one 85 watt Cfl (all Daylight) and one 85 watt Cfl (Warm White).

I know Warm White is better for flowering but would I be okay staying with this set-up the complete cycle or should I buy more Warm White bulbs?
Is the difference really that noticeable for a first timer with such small space?

Thanks in advance!!

P.S.
The :joint: is "Blue God" and I am using a "Bubbleponics" system from http://www.stealthhydro.com/product.php?xProd=2. I will be posting pics once I get started and throughout the process.

I havent started yet but Im planning on 6-8 plants small to medium size.
All the lights listed as daylight are 6500k and the one listed as warm white is 2700k. I know 2700k is better for flowering but basically what im wondering is if I stick with this set-up will I still end up with decent size buds or would it pay off that much to get a few more 2700k (I know their only a few bucks but why spend money you dont have too lol).
As for nutes I will be using Stealth Hydro in house brand of micro, grow and bloom. I am a noob but from the research ive done and the reviews ive read they seem to get the job done.

I use t5 high output fluorescents for my grows all the way through. However, I use two differen bulbs 2700k and6500k but when I first started I used 6500k the whole way through and got a decent harvest. It will work but not as good as having all 2700k would.

Great post, very informative...thx but I didnt get the answer I was looking for :(, I am wondering what the difference in bud size and quality would be if grown with a predominately 6500k spectrum rather than the 2700k.
Im kind of looking for someone who could give a comparison of the two.

thanks for your help!

The more lights you have the bigger and better the plants will be.
So go for 6500k.
