I know 3000-4000K is the scientific proven standard, but just wanted to ask if anyone here has grown purely using higher Kelvin LED's (5000K+) and if so - what's your experience doing so?
Did it turn out just fine?
What differenced did you see between a higher Kelvin LED and a lower Kelvin one, in terms of effect of smoke?
(Why I ask):
I was going to buy two 240W lights for my 3x5' grow - I'll be growing equatorial landrace sativas (exclusively).
I heard anecdotal evidence (I know, not scientific, but info from old school heads) that for landrace sativas higher Kelvin lights lead to better effects (I'm growing for pure effect, I don't mind low yield, no bag appeal, etc). The reason being that near the equator, where these sativas grow, there is naturally a higher Kelvin light spectrum.
Was going to get two 6500K Kingbrite 240W LEDs for that reason, but just doing my due diligence.
