|   14k is going to give you the best balance between colour and growth. Are you running any other lights? If you are running actinics, you could go with a 10k bulb and use the actinics to help with the colour and get better growth than a 14k bulb. |

|   I like the color of my 250w 20K XMs.  And the 20K XMs push more PAR than the 15K XMs, so better growth and color with the 20K. |
