All fuorescents, although not full spectrum according to sunlight specifications, are full spectrum in that they do emit all wave lengths of light. The 6500K (or whatever temperature rating) is only the peak wave length emissions. We would have sorry looking plants, indeed, if a 6500K lamp emitted only 460nm (short wave lengths).
