What is in your experience the best bulb with 10k in terms of best SPS growth? What balast do you use - mine is electronic?

for most bulbs a magnetic ballast will usually result in more light output, but it can tend to overun bulbs so the bulb wont last as long.

I would ask this in the sps forum if I were you. You would get better responses.

Aqualine Bushke on PFO magnetic HQI ballasts. Best combo for 10k with growth IMHO.
