Blue plus? I use both t5s and led, I never found a way to get the deep colors alone with the t5s. Purple plus can help as well I suppose play with the order they're in.

Blue plus is blue .. but I have never used it singularity by itself .

a combination of blue plus , coral plus .
I have used purple plus in the passed but prefer a equal blue and coral combination .

So now a question referring to another post regarding a abundance of leds for sale .
What was your reason for switching back to t5’s ?

I have always used t5’s but thought many times of switching

Blue + is a great bulb, but not what OP is asking.

Purple plus and pure actinic will have the most spectrum in the blue through violet range.

Agreed with above. If you’re looking for the deep blue led look into some supplemental strips. That allows you to build out your daylight spectrum better IMO.
If that’s not an option at the moment throw in pure actinic lamps into your 2 channel. It’ll help with coloration and pop but don’t expect that super saturated led pop.
