| Just like any other tubes, anything from 4100k to 6500k is best for plant growth. If you choose 5000k to 6500k you might want to supplement with a 3000k tube after a couple of months for the loss in far red phosphors. I use a combo of 3/1 5000/3000 on my grow rack and just 4100k on my terrariums. |
