Use both.
The trick to being a good cfl grower is using as many as you can get your hands on.

So you have one light? Right.

The spectrum's should say on the bottom of the cfl and when using them for veg and flower will work best. Working with cfls's require you to put as many as possible in because you need enough to fill your grow area. They recommend 5,000 lumen's per sq ft, so how big is your grow area and how many Plants are you growing at a time. I think 3' is close to enough, but i guess it depends on your hight. If you can get the 250watt red use it with veg too, trust me you'll need it:hippy:Then add more if you can.

5,000k to veg and 2,700k to flower is recommended, so if ya have the cash to change em out great. But most people just use what they can to get their grow out.
