If the floro doesn't say 6500k on it what else should I look for? Warm white? Day light? Cool white ?

I have a clone that started to root & she's on 18/6 but my grow tent sweats at night due to the high temps. I wana switch to floros for the 8hours at night.

yes to both your questions.. you want to use 6500k, and the other one you want is I believe 1900k... I haven't looked in a while, but yes a cool white and a warm white. I think they are commonly labeled as "kitchen and bath" and "cool blue".

I have t8's, but t5's are a little more efficient, I just couldn't get t5 bulbs easily locally, so if you have an option look for T5 bulbs... it will say on the bulb as well as on the balast when you buy it if it's for t5, t8, t12.. just make sure the bulbs and balast are set up for the same thing, or it's like buying aaa batteries for your tv remote... (may save you a trip back to the store).

The 10 dollar walmart fixtures work fine. You want a cool white and warm white in each 2 bulb fixture about 2 inches from the plants.
