when I had my t5 setup with 4 bulbs a few years ago I ran
1 ati blue special 2 ati blue plus 3 ati blue special 4 at blue plus I was happy with it but its an opinion thing in my eyes. You can go with a full spec bulb for maximum growth but the light color is not always good looking. Btw I ran my blue plus morning for an hour then ran all 4 bulbs for 8 hours than blue plus alone for one our than night time. |

I'd check out the T5 Q&A thread (it's a big help).
