plant and aquarium bulbs are 5000k, bad for growing period. too pink.

ge makes a tube called daylight, 6500k, perfect for veg, and any kitchen and bathe flouro tube is in the 28oo-3100k range, flower lights...

i didn't say sunlight; sunlight is 6000k, a little off for great vegging. DAYLIGHT bulbs are what you want for veg, the p+a bulbs are more for fish and aquatic plant life. soft white is a warm color (2800-3100k) and is good for flower.
