I have an MH bulb labled BT28 that i was going to run in my veg closet but it burns with a red glow like a 2700k CFL..shouldn't it burn with a blue/white glow like a 6500k if I'm using it for veg?

Nope. I came up on a 400w ballast and housing that was designed for outdoor applications like parking lots for dirt cheap at an auction. This bulb was already in it..
I'm just getting started on roll it up so I'm still trying to figure out how the hell to post a pic. But the ballast says metal halide and its round and fat like an MH not long and slinder like a hps..
If its what you have yes, it will veg and flower plants. 3500-4000 is right about in the middle where you would want to be if you planned to use this bulb throughout the grow for veg & flower. I vegged and flowered my entire last run under 3500K CXB3070's
