What is your distribution of color temperature?

I'm almost 4 weeks into my first grow, a single plant (2 others died, I'm a noob ) from bagseed under 4 x 26W CFLs in a growth cabinet I built for the job. It's fairly low profile so I've been giving LST treatment. So far it seems to be going well. Having lurked this forum for weeks, I've seen people often use more bulbs than four, so I bought some of those "y" adapters to make room for more. My question is what kind of bulbs should I install?

Currently the four installed are 6500k; I understand 6500k are accepted as best for vegetation. Should I try and diversify some with 5000k or even 2700k bulbs? Perhaps two of each? Thanks for the replies.

IMHO, use the 6,500°K for Veg and the 2,700°K for bud.

You can't have too much light, too much RAM, or too big of a hard drive.

haha nice. So you're suggestion is to simply add more 6500k bulbs.

I have two 300watt 2700K's and i have 2 100watt 5000k's and 2 100watt 6500K's ..they seem to work out just right

i like the idea of mixing your spectrum up if at all possible.. that is what is soo nice about cfls.. you can get them in pretty much any k you want.. some of the best grows i have seen have been grown using both mh and hps bulbs, and they always say that the plants that recieve both spectrums seem to do the best..
in my grow, i am now using a t5 along with my hps bulb for flowering, but in the four bulb t5, i have two bloom bulbs, and two veg bulbs..
imho, i would keep the 6500k bulbs that you have, and get about the equal amount of 2700k bulbs, and throw them in the box as well..
