Ok I have the 250 HQI and T5 combo and I need to change out all the bulbs.
I think I will try the 14k Phoenix bulbs but I don't know what brand or color T5 bulbs to use.Anyone want to help me out with a few ideas?
 
Depends on what final color you want. If you want to keep it close to the same color as just the Phoenix, you could go with the same blue actinics and a 12000K white. If you want more blue, you could use ATI Blue+. More purple, use a Fiji Purple. There are lots of good bulb options depending on what you want out of them.
