Hello I just wanted to ask more experienced growers a question about cfl lights ok so I have 3 Florescent spiral bulbs. 1 is a very bright like a white light. The other 2 are more of a yellowish light. I have one failed attempt at growing due to I left my last grow with the white lights and it never budded. However my question is will the yellow light cfl bulbs make my plant bud? I read the 2700k for flower and 6500k for veg so Is the yellow cfl bulb in that 6500 range for flowering

The bulb will (or should) have the kelvin value written on the ceramic part somewhere. It may be very, very small, but its there.

2700k flower, 6500k veg. The yellow light will be closer to the 2700k/flower bulb, but its worth a check to see exactly. You definitely want more 2700k to 6500k in flower. If I was to try it myself, I'd likely do 4-1 or at least 3-1.

It would have budded under 6500k. you do want 2700, not disputing that. Just making sure you flipped to 12-12 as well.
