I've seen some people go into flower 2 weeks with CFL's and then switch to HPS but I don't think it would really effect your yield if you went and done CFL's all they way through; just make sure they are 2700k

How can you tell? It doesn't say on the bulb or on the box.

If you turn on the light if it is a yellow color it is 2700k and if it is a white color then it is around 5500k

Oh ok so I should switch the yellow lights to where the white lights are? It's my first grow indoors so I don't know to much about lighting.

I always recommend a mixed spectrum of bulbs at a 4:1 ratio.During your veg cycle,thru flowering till stretch phase is over use 4 white or brite white(5000kelvin or 6400k)with 1 soft white(2700k) bulb.Swap the bulbs after stretch is over to 4-2700 and 1-5000k.GL
