2700K

Ideally you should get both the 6400K and the 2700K for veg and flowering respectively, but if you can only get one then the 2700K will do significantly better in flowering than the 6400K.

I would go 64K GES 230 if you plan on start to finish with same light. The blue light is great for veg and while it is not ideal for flowering it will git er done.

It depends on your grow space, and budget... You may be able to find a MH and HPS on craigslist even CHEAPER than a new T5... But it also depends on your grow space... if youre limited to a closet, then you may want to grab the T5, to keep the heat down among other reasons... but if you have a decent space you might want to think about looking at craigslist or ebay or the equivalent to get it used. Im actually buying 2 more 1000w, 1 MH and 1 HPS and a 400w switchable lamp for $200. Yeah 4 bulbs, 3 ballasts, and 3 hoods for $200. So think it through.
