Best actinic lighting for SPS

[childress5tyler]

I'm rebuilding my canopy and contemplating switching my vho super actinics to 4x 39 watt T5s for actinic lighting. Would you rather have 2x 36" super actinic VHOs or 4x 39 watt T5s (2 blue plus, 1 coral plus, and 1 purple plus) to go along with 2x 250 watt radiums?

2 blue plus 2 coral plus for me :)

 

[childress5tyler]

What's your main lighting?

I run all T5.... But a buddy of mine runs the above combo with radiums. Sps color is amazing.

What kind daylight do u use ?? I'm wondering of changing my t5's and was wondering what's the best combo to go with

 

[Aqua fire/medic]

Right now I'm running 4 blue + 1 coral + 1 purple +. Thinking about going with another coral + instead of purple.

Use all ATI bulbs in conjunction with your halides.

I like the color of VHO super actinic much better than T5's (blue plus or actinic). I would keep the 2 VHOs.

The coral + is the whitest of the bunch. more of a 12 K look though.

So, VHO's vs T5's with halides. What would you choose?

Super actinic VHO wins hands down.

Nothing can touch them for actinics.
