CFLs....warm/coolwhite
The term that should be looked for on the packaging is 'full spectrum'.
Bulbs designed to emulate the color spectrum of the sun are the ones that will provide MH lamp-like growth, at no where near the temperature or operating cost.
I'd also advise keeping CFLs more than an inch away from the leaves. 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 is more ideal for keeping the temperature of the leaves closer to where they can do more with the available light without having to expend energy keeping itself cool.
The ballast of CFLs is the hottest part...be sure to keep that part of the bulb above the leaves.
