i agree, just look around more, not all brands label their lights with the color temp on the package. sometimes they use tricky names to describe the color temp, ie. cool, daylight, sunlight... look around enough and you will find a retailer whole has a product with the info you need, i too have this problem...

I like the GE brand Daylight 6500k .. They have a 5 year warranty . I've tried others but my plants always "lean" towards those!!

Home Depot??? They DEFINITELY carry 6500K CFLs.
Another thing to keep in mind...A lot of the brands I've seen at WalMart and Home Depot may not have the label "6500K" on the package itself. Most of the time, I see the labels like "Soft White", "Warm White", or "Daylight".
If you're looking for the 6500K, look for the packages marked "Daylight".

If you can buy online that's the way to go! 1000bulbs.com has quite cheap CFL's if your trying to go anything over 40w and a selection that just has you going "FUCK!!!". Most stores dont carry a wide selection of bulbs because most people just look at price and go sweet thanks! plus "soft white" sounds better than "DAYLIGHT" although after I started using CFL's, i switched all the bulbs in my house to little 20w 6500K's and the place seems WAY more colorful!
I picked up 2 80w 5000k bulbs for $20 a pop on 1000bulbs.com couple weeks later i go to the hydro store and see the exact ones i have for $65! HAHAHA
Oh and thnx for the rep donp!

its almost the same bro! my verilux says full spetrum at 6500k and my agro's say daylight and they are 6280k but IMO you want 5000k-6500k for best result and you want the highest CRI rating you can find !!
