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