Your flowering CFL should have a temp of 2700K...

As for how many you use and the wattage....thats dependent upon grow and your desires.

Minimal requirements I would suggest for a single plant...

2 125W CFL ..... 2700K

You wont find these bulbs at Wal mart....but you will online....

Good Luck

Perfect, I love when you don't have to ask a question cause its already answered. I recently changed my warmer looking cfls to 5500k and noticed growth a bit slower as I'm flowering now. Should I change em and go get the 2500 like you said?? Assuming so .. I'll go buy em, you can get em at home depot they have 3 different kinds at 3 diff temps.
