I see some pretty cheap nice bulbs for me, but their 5000K, or 5100K
i know its not close to 6500K but will it be good enough? will it work just the same?

yeah man, you'll be fine
i've used 4100k with good results
6500k is just ideal

thanks for help guys

I ordered 12 30 watt 2,000 lumens each 6400K CFL's for vegging
I probably wont us all, but good for a backup
I was thinking of maybe 3-4 bulbs per plant or i'll just load up all 12 haning at the top
