ATI T5 bulb replacement

[ReeferReefer]

I just got 6 new ati bulbs for my 6 bulb t5 fixture. The old bulbs are way past their life.

I added 2 purple plus yesterday. How long should I wait to replace each bulb to prevent burning?

Swap a new bulb in each week is probably fine. Another option is add them all in at once and just reduce the peak photo period duration (where all 6 bulbs are on at once) and maybe reduce the total light time slightly. Add time back in on the peak period and full photo period over the next month to get back to your previous duration.
