all depends on you. If you like the blue color then the 20000K is for you, but it depending on the par rating of the bulb you could have slow growth. If you want faster growth and less color, go with the 10000K. You already have actinics so a 20000K might be a little much IMO.

20K is very blue and 10k needs actnic supliment for color.12-14K is ideal.
