Finishing with 10000k

with leds it's probably not a good I deal. would only give you more indigo (450nm "royal blue" ),less red and none of the UV that finishing bulbs provide. you would need expensive and inefficient violet and UV diodes to get any benefit in flowering

I want to add some 10000k, maybe tubes, with my lights and some UVB. Don't know much on this topic, just got into it.
nothing wrong with hybrid lights. the aquarium crowd has be using them for years and california light work uses UV tubes in their led grow light as a flowering boaster.some induction lights use 660nm leds to supplement their spectrum high CRI 4000-3000k leds mixed with 10k fluorescent tubes would give you a fuller spectrum and a fair amount of UV light. high CRI diodes have a peak that much farther in the red zone giving more light that plants can use.
