Hey guys , I am thinking about changing one of my LED strips out , and installing a 4 bulb T5 fixture , but would like some oppinions on bulb selection , I like a little more blue than white but also want things to get the light they need for good growth and color. Thanks

I just saw this and realized that no one responded to you. I would trade out one blue plus with a true actinic. I like the deeper look though and am not that knowlage able on florescent bulb selection.
