What about using a 50/50 Actinic 03/10000K White? I've often wondered about these lights as well. I've got a 15000K MH light in the same fixture.
I dont have the scientific explanations or links but I could dig them up.
The MH lighting is in another ballpark from PC... That 15k MH bulb will outperform any PC with same K rating and wattage (if possible to go that wattage
=))
Amp help me out here with the scientific stuff.
OK ok..edit:
Greg so you have a 15k MH x3 PC 1ok's and one 50/50 PC bulb?
The 10ks are supplemental for that MH ..dont really see that 50/50 as necessary bulb in your set up... may as well slap a 20k in there if you want blue. You can juggle this many ways to.
MH 10k
x2 20ks
x215ks
Or
MH 10k
x4 20ks
its all about how you want that display to look I thinks.
Disclaimer: 15k PC do they makem I dont recall...stopped looking at pc long time ago..
10k or lower K more sunlight level of lighting for growth
14k or close to it has mix of white and blues to keep have tthe color stand out but have growth spectrum in there.
2ok slow growth and very blue ..makes colors stand out but you sacrifice the white lights you need for growth.
