Grim I have a 210 with 8 t5s let's say a pretty even mix of sps lps and softies. Wondering what uvl bulbs would you suggest? Looking for color that will pop but also want good growth.
thanks in advance Nate
I have used UL's bulbs for years and I can give you a recomendation however I will also say that I now have a preference to the ATI Bulbs.
UL's 454 Blue is there closest equivelent to ATI's blue plus bulb however it does have more green and yellow in it than the UL bulb. If your using strictly UL bulbs I would go with 6 of them with they being your only bulb on the dawn to dusk circuit. The other two bulbs that I would then use on your mid day cycle would be the from there fuller spectrum line. I personly like the UL 14,000K Aqua Blue however it does not have any red in it. I strongly recommend it as your 7th bulb.
The only UL bulb that does have red in it is there Red Sun or there 10,000K bulbs however I think they produces too much red and you would be better off adding even a GE 6,500K or ATI Purple Plus to cover the red without over doing it.
