yes you need some sort of red spectrun to flower and get good results.

Do they make a 125w cfl with 2700K-3500K? If you find one, get a Y socket splitter and plug in both. It would probably be better to just have 2 orange 125w cfls, and save the one you have now for next time. You already have the floros and thats enough blue light for flower, IMO.
