Ok for now i have a 23w CFL bulb equiv to 100w Soft White. I read on the website for the bulb and it only puts out 3000K. Will this light at all be benificial to pinning? I will be going out today or tommorow to retrieve a "daylight" bulb but i have all my cakes going in today except for 1 thats been in 1 week today not using a bulb and just natural sunlight and i have had nothing yet.

6500k is optimal,anything less will work but is not optimal.

3000K is warm white and not suitable for mushrooms.  Your performance will be mediocre at best and you'll be blaming the tek you used rather than the light.  Go back to the store and spend $4 on a CFL in the correct spectrum.
