Just got my shipped today. Part of it was a Bali shortcake and strawberry shortcake. Was is best for color. Now the strawberry looks too red. I like the base to be more light in color.
 
Mine SSC is way up under T5, getting about 450 PAR. Decent color but it's been encrusting for about 7 years now (6 months :) ).
 
I keep my shortcake up high under t5 with good flow and its happy. Tips are bright pink and base is cream colored with a green tinge to it. This piece has tripled in size in about 4 months.

It seems high lighting is best. Cream colored base is what i prefer. I would have thought it would be like red planet. More lighting less green, glad i asked. I will guess bali shortcake is same lighting.
