So I am going to order new light on here that was suggested to me, but I am not sure what bulbs?

65K, PLANT GROW, 10K,5000K, 3000K ?

Thanks

Most common single bulbs here are probably 6500's.
Most common combination is probably 6500's and 10k's.

The light has 3 - 54 watt bulbs.

Plants will be perfectly happy with anything in the 3000 to maybe 14k range. For human eyes, the 5k-10k range looks pretty nice. So what you're looking for, basically, is something that looks good to you. Try a couple 6500's and a 10k?

I prefer the look of 10K and have had great growth using just those for years now.

Thanks everyone.

So what do you think of 2 6500? and one 10k
