Can i use 2700k for veg stage?

[iBong]

I am over a month into growing and my plants are not very big. I just realized that i am usinf 42 watt soft whites for my plants. Is that the problem? If it is, can i still save my plants?

My plants never see anything but 2700K lighting. It keeps them small but this is what I need as I only use a pc case.
There should be no problem if you change over to 6400K now.

Absolutely. I also use nothing but 2700k for the whole life cycle.

Look at my journal. If that isn't evidence enough I don't know what to tell you.

How fast will the plants grow only under 2700k lighting?

It all depends on how much space you have, if your trying to keep em small jsut stick with a 12/12 2700k throughout the grow, if your trying to get some good sized do a 6500k 24/0 for veg and flip to 2700k 12/12 for flower

SOME blue...
