I used a 4300K bulb for a few months and then switched to 5500K. Any
results I had would be skewed by the fact this is combined with VHO lights
having a 5200K rating. Still I noticed absolutely no difference in plant
growth, although I did not expect to. Still in the whiter/bluer light of
the 5500K the plants and water does look better. The yellow glow of the
4300K bulbs I didn't care for and am glad I made the switch for that reason
if no other.
