I have been looking at some metal halide bulbs that claim to be 10000k and 20000k on the color spectrum. Being that the HPS bulbs usually do 27000k, is it ok for me to flower with the MH??

Fyi HPS are typically 2700k not 27000k

Actually guys... I just checked the site I was looking at the lights on, and it says the color temp is at 20,000 (K) and the (CRI) is 65... Here is the link to the lights

I have done some investigating on my question and, have found that the 20,000k lights are sold for aqariums, but still wonder what this amount of kelvins would do to a plant. Although Im not willing to try.. I think ill stick with the hps just to be safe..
