2700K GE Soft White CFLs for Flower?
The "equivalent watts" ratio comes from comparing the CFLs to standard incandescent bulbs. A '150 watt GE soft white incandescent' puts out the same amount of lumens as a '42 watt GE soft white CFL.'
They're cheap, easy, and they can provide results like these

2700K GE Soft White CFLs for Flower?
Heh, just got back from a CFL shopping spree at WalMart. I got 26w bulbs because they were $2.50 each (roughly), and the 42w ones were about $9.00 each, and I have two 105 (real) watt bulbs, huge ones, coming in the mail. Gonna throw about 418 watts of CFLs on this female Durban Poison x Skunk #1 I've had since April or May and see what happens. All I need it to yield is like half an ounce and I'll break even, but hopefully I can do better than that!

how much were those 105 watters?
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
--Genesis 1:11-12
