7500K, 6000K or what K for veg?

I've got a double reflector that holds 2 400W bulbs. I've got 10000K, 7500K and 6000K bulbs. Which combination would be best for veg?

A lot of people have success with 4000k (LED), 5000k, and 6500k for vegging. With the bulb options you have, we would suggest running the 6000k & 7500k. If you can get a 5000k in as well, it would be beneficial.

I guessed right, as I am running a 6000K and 7500K now. Thanks. Is there any benefit, as I've read, for running a 10000K with a warmer bulb, 3000K HPS, very late in flower?

From our research, people do have success with 10k in flower. The heavyUV related properties can help with trichome production and success. However, heavy amounts of certain UV can also be damaging.

3500k the best !!

Not for veg. While, as I understand it, 3500K is a good all around light for veg/grow, there are better temps for veg and grow specifically. More blue for veg, more yellow for bloom.

I would also agree to use 7500K with 6000K. the old white will help with veg even better. We have tested several spectrum to grow veg, and the best one is to use 440nm with 460nm, but since there are all white spectrum you got, then get the ones which can produce more blue that lie in this range will be best.

I had success with 4000 k and my next run is doing well under 6500k lights.

I'm interested to know how your flower goes with those colour temps.

So far, so good. I am liking the short inter-nodal distance in veg.

I was very impressed with how tight the 4000 k lights had the plants, left me with a very bushy short plant and short overall hight plant at the start of flowering I had heard the 6500s do the same if not better.
