when needing lights in a different spectrum would a red bulb just covered in something to turn the light red actually be producing different light compared to a clear one

Correct spectrum bulbs are not literally blue and red. You need the correct Kelvin, (6500 and 2700), and changing the visual color, doesn't change the actual color spectrum.
LED's=waste of cash, unless your really, really, really tight on space.
there also all but useless for flowering.
get cfl's to start... or a small (as in 250w) HID fixture to get you started.
id reccomend ceramic metal halide
I am a little pressed for space also I intend on growing 3-4 lowryder2 plants I was thinking maybe the led system which has 225 lights on it and 2-3 cfls to start all cfls are 2700k so even if the leds would mostly help in veg its good
