What are the color k spectrum of the bulbs provided? ei. which is better for veg/flowering

the metal halide bulb, the big one is for veg. The HPS, the smaller one is for flowering. You can use the HPS during veg with perfectly fine results, it will keep the plant more stout than stretchy. I actually and many others prefer to use the HPS for all stages.

HPS is 3700K (red/yellowish) and MH is 6500K (white/blueish) I believe. I could be wrong its from memory... But the MH is for VEG, and HPS is for flowering. :)

The commenter above misspoke. If you use the HPS during veg it will cause the plant to stretch. You should really try to use MH for veg if possible.

It is supposed to be a full spectrum light including a little UV. No need for grow/veg settings, but you can buy another one with more blue if you really think you need it for veg (like the http://www.amazon.com/Lighthouse-Hydro-Clone-Light-90-watt/dp/B00E8DVMJ8/ref=pd_sbs_lg_53 ).

use the mh... this bulb is more than capable... but Id go with a cheaper MH bulb for veg since light is less critical in the veg stage

The color is a little more white vs typical yellow from standard halogen but not white-white like xenon HID gas arc bulbs. It is worth it to buy xenons with their ballasts for safest night driving

its all personal preference. i bought all of them together as i wanted all of my bulbs to match in color.

I really don't understand your question. The LEDs won't give you enough light for normal lighting. You should use the white and blue Florescent together for plant growth and day time lighting. I only use the LEDs for a night light.

It depends what you are looking to get out of the fixture. The blue bulbs are geared mire towards saltwater. The colormax is more for freshwater plants and the white is just a normal daylight bulb. So what you have in your tank should decide for you pretty much

Never tried 2100k depends on your plants I guess do a little research online and figure out which spectrum is best for you

Yes, this is the one you want for flowering. I have had better success with veg/clone with exclusively a blue light instead of the red/blue.

Well its not giving us much information about spectrum but lumen level seems a bit lower then I would like, Using a fixture like this then I would stick to low to medium light level plants, if the mediums die out then you know you need to stick with low light level plants like java fern and anubias. Also depends on how deep of a tank you have. Try a few listed above, Would not buy a lot to try as they might end up dead.

It offers another part of the spectrum, more reds than the full spectrum daylight, so the color looks kinda pink. Aqueon doesn't yet sell a Floramax bulb in LEDs yet, but the Colormax does aid in growth a bit...

This(HPS bulb) is meant for flowering.........use a metal halide for vegetative.

You'll get no good usable PAR light from those led panels. Check out the 250w cfl in 2700k for flowering 6400k for veg. Best and cheapest. If using led use black dog

In my opinion - - expect around the 4200k area. Unless something has changed lately. I will also say that they still perform very well with the addition of Foliar feeding during Veg, (very nice), dark period will need to be increased. cheers

Agrobrite High Output T5, same as Anton Ego's.....the 6400k spectrum is great for lush green growth.....

Hello there! This LED light is designed specifically for flowering growth due to having a higher number of LEDs in the 660nm and 630 nm range, which is better suited for flowering growth. Now we do sell High Output models such as the DGLG200HO, which has a higher concentration of white LEDs therefore, it is a better light system for vegetative growth and cloning. Both models are great for any plant growth, but we recommend you seeking a light specific for what you are wanting to achieve!

Blue spectrum for vegetative state. Red for flowering. Metal halide is blue. High pressure sodium or HPS is red
