t5 bulb combo

[iceman79]

i have a 8 bulb t5 fixture just wondering whats the best bulb combo im thinking i would need more daylight bulbs than colored cause its brightest but i see alot of people with six blue bulbs and two daylight s do the colored bulbs provide enough light to make up for the the two day light bulbs

If by daylight, you mean a 6500K bulb, most people only use 1 of those. I would do 4 Aqua Blues, 1 Actinic, 1 75/25, 1 Super White (I think is the name) and then your 6500K grow bulb. Thats just me personally though. Nice thing about T5's is its not to expensive to replace a couple bulbs if you don't like the look. With MH's you gotta be sure you know what your getting or your out $150.
