what your asking for in your bulbs is a very difficult thing to do.....you will get the best growth from lower k bulbs(10000k) unfortunately the lower the k the more yellow the light appears, which is unappealing to the eye to most peeps....the higher k bulbs will help make most colors pop... some people will even mix in a purple/pink to make other colors pop, but you will be sacrificing growth to a degree ...it really boils down to what you like personally.....lately Ive been running a 50/50 mix of KZ "new gens" (a 14000k bulb) and KZ "superblues" (a 22000k bulb).......
