    Which Actinic??

    I am upgrading my lighting to 2x400 6500k PFO MH Bulb Kit

    Should I use VHO or PC for the actinic supplement?

    If VHO would 2x110 be enough or would I need 3 or 4?

    If PC would 2x96w be enough or would I need 3 or 4?

    Thanks for your help

    IMO 6,500K bulbs are very yellow to my eye. So I would put 4 URI VHO actinics.

    The VHO's will preform better to the eye if both are placed infront of the MH's. I currently have 4-5'ers on 2 ballest running 2 isn't enough but 4 is A ok.
