well for veg you will need bulbs with a higher kelvin rating, u can pick up 23w cfls @ 5000k, and for flower something with a lower kelvin rating like 42w cfls @ 2700k.. your 60w bulbs might have a lower kelvin rating more suitable for flowering

exactly, when u switch to 12/12, change ur bulb over to the 42 watters but for your sake try finding the kelvin raing for that 60watter u got, might save u a bit of cash during flower phase or even veg. dont take what i say to be the exact way you do things, but if you do take those extra steps for your plant she will repay you greatly ;)
