Shall i switch from the 2700k CFL's to the 6500k's?

[side00]

Thank you very much my friend. It looks like i will be picking up some of the 6500's 2morrow or sometime during the week. I decided to go with the biggest plastic tub box(Rubbermaid) that i could find and painted the inside with satin white plastic spray paint. I know that everyone recommends using flat white, but i was unable to locate it at the store so i went with what they had. Will there be a noticibale difference between the flat white and the satin white that i purchased?

i doubt it... its not like painting the inside is going to make a *huge* difference to begin with... it will make a small difference as white reflects all the lightwaves in the visible spectrum (hence why it appears as white), but not a whole ton of that reflected light is eventually going to make it to your plants... the majority off it will just keep bouncing off the walls and a little more and more will get absorbed and converted into heat every time, only a small portion of the reflected light will be lucky enough to make it to the plants sadly!

so considering how much gets lost anyways even with it white, I can't imagine your going to notice a difference with such a tiny detail
