3000K or 2700K for bloom?

I'm looking at some quantum boards for a bloom tent. I have some plants in veg now. Which would give better yield or does it matter? The 2700K light is like $25 cheaper... There is a good chance this light will be exclusively for bloom

You are better off with 3000K cri80 and some 660nm monos for extra punch

It's only a 2'x 3' scrog grow so I'm just keeping it simple. I'm buying light fixture and just running that. It will be a 260 watt fixture. I'm not planning to add any supplimental lights.

3000 or 3500k

It won't make a big difference either way then

3000k is fine for bloom.

Ya 3000K. 2700 is a bit red...

Well good... I can save myself $25

Every strain is different, there is no ideal spectrum apart from the sun. Some strains prefer more red others prefer more amber. This is why tunable spectrums are best, you can get to know what works best for you.

Well ended up ordering the 3000K light...

That's probably a good call. 3000k is just much more versatile.

Well for now I am only using it as a bloom light but later down the road in May pull double duty. And after looking at the spectrum difference between 3000K and 2700K it didn't look very different
