And, almost any CFL will have enough of the proper spectrum to give you good results, if you have enough watts.
Do you know of a particular bulb i can buy? Maybe home depot? I guess I could purchase online as well. I have to be able to find something 250watts or lower to grow a plant with.

Thanks for confirmation on the color temps for veg and flower.
