yea i think you want a more white light for veg. like between 2700-4400 k color temp. that yellow is more for veg.

Yes, and you'll need more than 1 of them.
But you can use the 2700 later on for flowering.

The right CFL's make all the difference in the world...This is BlueBerry clones that have been vegging 4 weeks since I took them out of my aero cloner under sixteen 100watt rated cfl's @6500K each
