10K MH bulb for vegitative cycle

"K" is usually used a s a reference for color temperature_ degrees Kelvin.....but a 10K bulb.....I have no idea. Degrees Kelvin are like 2800, 3200, 5000, 6000, 9000, etc. If you're not seeing the designation on the bulb itself then maybe its a misprint or....haha_ spell check. Find out, let us know!
 
I have one coming for my CMH light. They are for the final couple of weeks of flowering . I guess they produce a shit load of UV rays and the plants produce trichomes to protect itself. Well that's my understanding of it.
 
10K is like being on the Equator! I bet this blue MH would also work well for vegetation, As long as I follow-up with a HPS lamp for flowering.

I intend to try this out next grow using both a fresh 10K rated MH for vegetation. Then I will switch over to a 600 watt HPS for flowering and more red. The UV is not good for your health so use protection when around a 10K rated grow bulb. Long sleave shirts and eye protection is a must. I suspect the 10K light will do vegetation just fine, and after the HPS bulb switch buds should form ok. we shall see.
 
I know this is a older form but I personaly started useing the 10k mh in veg and I actualy see more growth than the top line normal mh light. How did this work for you?
 
Me too dude, I think Green75 has one dude but IDK if he uses it......let me know how you fair with it dude:)
 
They make a 10k bulb for a cmh fixture and I believe they recommend it for the blast couple weeks in flower to increase terpene production.
