Back to the frustration. While I was light shopping, I asked for a price on a simple little 400W MH set-up. The salesperson asked me if I wanted the price on a 10,000K MH bulb upgrade (which was much cheaper than buying a 10,000k MH bulb anywhere else).

I noted a loss of about 6,000 lumens as compared to a standard MH bulb, and I set out to find an SPD chart. I've been searching for a SPD chart on a 10,000k MH for hours now (any brand of MH)....Nothing.

Does anyone have any info or experience with MH bulbs with this CCT? I realize these bulbs have more blue in it's spectrum, but is it all usable by the plant? If I happen to find a SPD chart in the mean time, I'll post it.

Here's an SPD on the Sunmaster CDX (400W MH). This was another upgrade choice. It looks pretty good, but I have to say, It's a pretty da*n expensive bulb.
