I'm using the 4k bulb for veg/flower and it is making my plants stack tighter than they ever stacked before i have run this same cut under standard MH and 600w hps lights previously.

I can say this about the 3100k bulb. And it has the highest par and is designed for flowering.

I'm planning on using the 3k bulb after this run to see differences, i was kinda dumb and bought the 4k bulb thinking it was the better option for me since i am using it between two 600w HPS lights. Also plan to buy a vertical reflector instead of using my blockbuster to see differences. I will post pictures when my run is done of some bud shots under these CMH lights.

Nice. When I build my new room in the basement next I will be adding a 4200k bulb to see myself too.

i went around and around on which bulb like everyone. Lol.

Some great growers are using the 4200k and raving about it but I think it's because the difference is likely subtle. And the little 315 is pretty impressive.

I have added the Hortilux blue mh to the room as well but may be switching that one back to hps. I have lost density and yield since taking out the Super hps.

I will miss the more natural light to look at the plants.

I am a believer fuller spectrum helps with quality but we need the strongest red peaks for proper budding.

The answer always lies in the middle of the 2 sides of an argument often in my experience.

Yea spectrum is important in my opinion , i really like the 4200k bulb its really nice for seeing stuff under it and the plants seem to be growing beastly under it. 600w hps produces nearly 3x more lumens than those hortilux blue mh bulbs, i don't use hortilux mh bulbs anymore, they don't produce enough lumens for me to spend that kind of money on them, i got these el cheapo bulbs that produce like 2x more lumens (both MH) with a slightly less desirable spectrum. The 600w MH bulb i use produces 60k lumens vs 39k for the hortilux. A 600w HPS bulb produces 90k lumens so it's almost 3x more than that hortilux mh bulb, that could be why the weight + density wasn't good under that bulb. I like those hortilux mh bulbs for veg only.
