Simple question - 3000k or 3500k Start to Finish ?

[Budzbuddha]

I'm jumping on board the COB train and am prepping a build for final wiring and completion.

But am wondering , from those that have run their builds whether 3000k or 3500k COBS are what would be the best ( overall kelvin temperature ) for growing start to harvest. I have a 5 COB build with a center active cooler that i CAN put a ( 5000k or ? ) .

But am interested in which would be the PREFERRED spectrum.

I'm in the final stages of wiring / adding pots / switches and misc.
and am waiting to put my order in to jerry.

I will be using CXB3590 36v ( CD ) or ?

Any input appreciated. I know there are shitloads of threads but don't want to dig thru pages and pages of posts.

I'll let you know in 3 months. 3500 probably.

I'm running half 3500 half 3k. 16 total. the leaves have less chlorophyll under the 3k. Flip in 2 weeks. I don't see much difference in growth or node spacing. But I am hitting them pretty hard now. Around 700w. 11 sq ft.

It seemed most builds ( were 3000 ) but have noticed more panels sporting 3500.
And i know that the color difference doesnt seem much , im more interested in which seems to have more bang for the buck. I'm using my G8 deep Red lights for initial flowering .

Thanks
