Mixing lights during veg

Pardon my rookie status but I'm curious about mixing CFL Daylight and Soft white with full spectrum LED.
I have a setup which includes 10 CFL softwhite and 10 CFL daylight all rated at 23w including a 300w 155w actual LED Viparspectra. Does mixing this light spectrum and type during veg harm the growth process?

If anything mixed spectrum will enhance veg (or flowering). In the winter sometimes I need to bump up the temps in my main veg tent and will add a 3000k COB panel to my blurple LED to add some heat, have never seen any issues.

Lower Kelvins in veg can promote more stretch and higher kelvins promote less stretch more bushiness. I have ran mixed in my veg room but it was with cause such as when I am growing a super bushy Indica, Kush Dream was one recently I tried. (but didn't like I killed it off now I'm back to 6500K veg roomS)

I like to keep my plants short and bushy during veg so I only run 6500k during veg and then add 3000k during flowering.I think supplementing your "full spectrum" led with cool white bulbs will give you healthier plants and better tasting flowers
