Actually 2700K is Warm White, 3000K is Soft white, 3500K is Bright White, 4000K is Cool White, 5000K is Full Spectrum White, and 6500K is Daylight. My advise is to stay away from 3000K-4000K. They are useless for the simple fact that green plants cannot support photosynthesis in those spectrums. Meaning the plant won't grow. Keep within 5000K-6500K for Vegitation, and 2700K for Flowering. Those spectrums best support your plants growth if you take that kind of stuff into consideration. Simple stuff folks.

He's right their 3000K Soft white.
