    Is anyone running se sps 20k bulbs? If so are you getting any decent growth?
    How about the 14k's?Also what wattage are you running?
    I am about to order 3 400watt bulbs and cant decide on the 14k or 20k's:p

    Running both SE and DE 14K SPS bulbs. Great growth and looks.

    Par is better on the 20Ks though. Should have better growth, but have never seen the looks of them in person.

    I had heard the par was better on the 20k's that's why i was leaning towards them.
    Hopefully someone with the 20k's will chime in.
