3200k my personal or 5000k a mixture of both would be Ideal I don't know why you would want to only chose one though. This is all LED based I assume are you counting MH bulbs they can be very good for vegative growth just expensive to run.

Distante between LED and plants.
The distance between the LED and the plants is 53 cm. Is it ok for the first week? I've read that a short distance in this stage is good to produce a not so tall plant.

Contemplating putting 2 plants outside. I have 8 in a 3x3 with Mars hydro tsw2000. It’s pretty tight in there. What do you guys think? Is 8 too many for the size and light? Or should I just leave them as is? I think the the pots are 3 possibly 5 gallon.

Tent too hot?
I added two blurple lights - I'm not sure how much they're helping growth but they are definitely making the tent hotter - about 5 degrees F. I have a fan blowing at the bottom of the tent and at top over the lights but I'm worried that it might be too hot. Should I ditch them?
