Hey guys I just want to make a quick poll here and see everyones opinions on the best SE 250w 14k bulb out there. Im currently running an ice cap ballast with a hamilton 25w 14k. The color is ok...has a slight tint of blue in it. So im running 2 65w actinics hooked up to a CSl ballast. I want to see what everyones opinions on the best bulbs out there.

I run a 250 SE 15K XM, I love the color, but growth is slow. I only supplement with 50/50 PC's (130W) for the morning and evening lighting when the halide is off. The PAR on this bulb is low, but the debate on the importance of PAR could consume an entire thread.
