anybody know the effects of using a 10,000k light for veg? its an old fish light i found and just had to try it. its 10,000k "actinic blue" whatever the fuck that means. seems like overkill on the blue wavelength but i figured it was worth a try. gonna switch it out if i see any negative effects.

freshly planted seeds, tiny ass clones (bottom growth from other plants) and a female harvested and attempting to re-veg


anybody tried this yet?
