I didn't know they were 3000k. The one I bought had an incandescent hood which was more than enough for plants with a couple of 10 or 13 watt 6500k cfl's.
The problem is that the bulbs that come with it are 3000k so you have to buy different lights. The kits are fully capable of growing plants, but you need the right bulbs. And, buying different bulbs is an extra expense to an already overpriced kit.
