Is it okay? Or does it even make a difference? I'm using CFL so should I just use a little 6500 with a lot of 2700K?

Going to hear conflicting reports on this one bud. Most on here would say to ditch the 6500 when 12/12 begins, but the occasional scraggler will swear the blue light helps with budding.

My advice would be to try them both and see what works for you.

My 6500's go back in the box and the 2700's come out for flowering. Alone.

MJ uses more of the warm spectrum during flowering... take that for what it's worth(1000000$)

Im flowering some plants under both HPS and MH atm. I was figuring why not try to replicate the sun as much as possible . Even though in the shorter days there may be more orange spectrum, im sure there is still a butt-load of blue being put off also
