From my experience, I would have to disagree with that, as I had great success the last two years with 6000k led tubes.

The only thing I cant remember being under the led (only) grow lights was the tomatoes, they go on the table with 4500k fluorescent x 4 and led x 6 (2 led strips and 4 led bulbs) they are about 4500k and 5000k, but would have preferred 6000k, however at the time I didn't know squat about lighting. I will try a few under the LED only grow table next year.
I feel bad that you haven't had success with the LED bulbs but wanted to post this to let folks know that it does work and works well!
