Changing halide bulbs soon
Getting pretty close to changing out my 250w xm 10k's and would like to know what bulbs i should go with next,I like the 10k growth but would like it to be a little more blue white.Im running icecap ballast also...I was thinking of going with the radium 250w 20k but i heard mixed things about running them on icecap ballast...Thanks in advance!!

I use the radiums on my lumatek ballasts and I love them. Not sure what to say about growth compared to others, though, as I've used very few different bulbs.

Have you thought about adding actinic? Either T5 or VHO? If you are happy with the 10K's, maybe adding additional blue would be the ticket.
