Just bought two 3ft current usa led fixtures and they will grow lps fine. I would like to try some sps. I have t5 fixtures left over from the replacement. They are 54w bulbs. Wondering how many I would need to add back and what color bulbs mixed with the led fixtures to be able to grow sps? If anybody knows I would appreciate the help.
 
Without looking them up could you tell us the wattage of the LED fixtures and emitter makeup. Also what exactly are the T5 fixture(s) you have as well T5-HO or T5-NO ??? Then for bulb/lamp suggestions state your preference to lighting color ie: Daylight 12-14K or a Blue 20K+ look

Cheers, Todd
 
Pretty sure it said 36w per fixture two fixtures and t5 is ho the fixture is 216 w 4 bulbs. Led puts off plenty of daylight would like to use blue and purple t5 don't know if that will work for sps
