Is only a 2700K Lamp good enough ?!?!

Bim024 · Jul 24, 2023

Hi Growers,
So I am a newbie Grower and just recently finished my DIY grow tent. (Ok, it is not fully finished) So I started getting the other essentials like Lamps. And for now I only have a 2700K Lamp, which is a relatively warm Lamp, but would be still strong enough because I don't have a big tent. Will that Lamp be enough for a Plant or do they really need a much “colder” Light like 6500K as well? I really don't want to buy another Lamp, but if it is necessary, then I guess I have no choice.

PS: And of course I'm making the Lamp DIY style, because I like to make these things myself.

Thanks for any Help.

2700K is fine plant don't care that much about the spectrum to grow healthy and vigorous, what's gonna count is if it's CFL,HID or LED and how many Watt for what surface

It's for only one plant with a relatively small Space and the Lamp is a LED with only 32W.
It's a Smart Array Q25 LED.

It will grow but you won't get much out of 32 W

Oh, shit, ok. Why though? Is the Light not strong enough, or what is the Problem? And would it help if I had another 32W LED, or wouldn't it matter?

more like 3 96W, there you'll start having some nice result if you do it well
