new grower. need some help

You can always find out one way or another if you want to be sure. Sometimes it will be on the ballast of the bulb instead of the package, sometimes only a model number will be there or on the package. In that case you can usually find the K by finding the manufactures web site and comparing it to their catalog or spec sheets. If not, you can always call or email them. What we really want is 2450 K, if memory serves (check the chart), but all we can do is come close to that number and, that is pretty rare. The reddish, or warm, or 2700K bulbs are the cheapest to manufacture, and therefore the most common and least expensive for us. If it's a cool, or daylight, or 6000K bulb, or in that range, the manufacture wants to make darn sure you know that, so it's going to something about that on the package.
I hope that answered your question.
