The temperature of light varies from blue to red. Blue produces the most amount of growth...it is the light that plant utilize the most and is what the plant requires to produce as much photosynthesis as possible. The kelvin temperature for your plants will range from 5500k(blue) - 2200K(red). Fluorescent lighting can be found in varying kelvin temperatures to suit your specific needs. There are different "names" for these bulbs, such as "warm white", "soft white" and "cool white". "Warm white" being much lower on the kelvin scale, thus giving off a "warm" or red tone to it. "cool white" being the opposite of "warm white" and "soft white" being between the two to give a combination of both. Do not use "Soft white" this is between the red and blue spectrum, specifically designed to be easier on the eyes for some people. Often the lights in your lamp or kitchen fan will be "soft white". Plants do not see the middle of the kelvin colour temperatures.. yellow and green will not be seen by the plant...hence the whole Blue/Red conversion when it comes to flowering.
