Hi Fam, I need a bit of help.

So I have a 180g with 4 Xr30 blues and 1 Xr30 pro in the middle, all G5 series.

When I try to set up the blues with the AB+, I notice that all the spectrums run at a 100%, including the whites just about the entire duration of the cycle.

Is this normal with the Blues when setting them up with the stock AB+ template?

any recommendations oh how to set them up properly for a sps dominated set up.

That is my understanding of it. The "blues" are designed to be AB+ out of the box so to speak.

So yea everything runs 100% and if too much light just globally dim it.
 
So no need to drop the green, red, cyan, whites?
Right, but like I said that is my understanding of the design..
And others..
For AB+ settings red/ green/ white should all be at 24%

Not for the Blue Radions.

AB+ is running all channels at 100% and then just tweaking the intensity to suit inhabitants.
G5 blue is everything 100%. G5 pro would still have a template similar to older fixtures.

Did you end up doing this with schedule? I’m currently running g5 blues but not green cyan and very low white and red.
