CFL Question

Ok, so I been reading and I see that i need 6500 lumen CFL for indoor. My problem is, I cant find them ANYWHERE. The highest home depot has is 2600. Im looking on some site called 1000bulbs.com and they completely skip over 6500, it goes from 5000 to 6900. If someone could point me in the right direction or maybe even throw me a link I would appreciate it. Thanks!

those 6900 are fine, anything thing on blue side of the spectrum. you can get the 6500k at walmart, look for the ones that say daylight.

6500 lumen or kelvin? Lumen is light output and kelvin is color temperature. 6500k is great for indoor vegging. 2700k is for flowering. They make massive CFL's that have light output that rival that of lower wattage HID's. These can be found at your local hydroponics store or online at altgarden.com.

I looked at a local store for a very long time before they jumped out at me. THe # was quite small on the packaging and not prominent. Try looking for "Daylight" on the packaging. They are definitely not that rare.
