should of vegged it out more before throwing into 12-12. I agree with slipon though, more lights, and more powerful lights.

in general, use 6500K for Veg and 2700K for flowering

tho mix it up a bit, plant both use the blue and red spectrum in both veg and flowering, just more of the warm white (2700K) in flowering and more of the blue light (6500K) in veg
5000K can also be used as they keep a little of both, but to get the most out of it I would suggest to try and get them 6500K for Veg. 2700K is easy to find, and yes get as high Watt as possible, specially in flowering, plants need 3x the amount of light then in Veg.
