Ok as far as the CFL's are concerned.

I have 2-42w, 1-30w, 3-26w bulbs and a 13w bulb on my plant right now. Of those, 1-42w-1-30w and the 13w are "soft white" aka 2700K aka FLOWERING bulbs.
The rest are 1-42w- 3-26w which are "cool white" 6500k

I can't remember who's grow it was I was looking upon, however he used a mix of bulbs and came out with great results.

This is what my buds looked like today only using CFL's going into the 3rd week of flowering only.
