MH lamp color

  1. Hi all, I'm trying to get a 400W MH lamp for my veg. room and, as far as I know, the lamp should have a color temperature in between 6000K and 6800K... but all the lamps that I can get are in between 4000K and 5000K... I need to know what should I expect with one of this lamps (between 4000 and 5000K). Thanks!
     
  2. for veg a 4000k is ideal actually. I use Ceramic Metal Halides that are 4000k and they really do a great job of keeping the plants healthy and really making the nugs frost over way more than they would otherwise. CMH puts off a good amount of UVB which would be why it does that.
     
  3. Great, just made the lamp request (is this the right word? english is not my native language), the new lamp will arrive on friday :)

    thanks!
