its jusr a label makers use. the color spectrum is what matters, the 2700k part. for flowering you should still use some blue spectrum too. around 1 blue spectrum bulb for every 2 red spectrum bulbs should be fine.

If you look at most bulb packaging they will state coloring 2700k is what you want, daylight bulbs are closer to 6400k, meaning there is no daylight bulb that is 2700k, no such thing.
Go to walmart, go to home depot or such and look at the CFL's get the highest actual watt 2700k bulb you can find.

mixed spectrum is ideal for all stages of life. cannabis has 2 types of chloroplasts, one that interacts with the blue side of the spectrum and one that interacts with the red side of the spectrum. so using only 1 spectrum limits your plants potential. how large is the 1 flowering plant you have now? do you intend to do more plants flowering in the future or just flower 1 plant at a time? cuz i can probably help you on your flowering lighting for next time if you tell me the space and how large you are planning on growing the plants if you are going to do more.
