Well I use the 6500k as it's closer to the blue light spectrum, but I put a mix of the 65s & 27s...like 3 6500k to 1 2700k ratio for veg and just the oposite for flower...good luck and welcome to RIU...

thanks so everything else as far as the wattage is concerned is ok

is 5000k good enough

I veg with 104w of 5000k and 115w of 2700k, but that's more 2700 than most guys use.

Oh ya, it's good, that's what I started with and still have a few, as long as you're within the blue light spectrum.
