Thanks so much!Thank you for the kind words. I know everyone has been waiting a long time for someone to come through. I'm actually surprised no one had come through and there is almost 500 pages of this thread. LOL
I have been running 2 of the UVL660nm and 2 of the TrueLumen 460nm in my 4-lamp fixtures and get really nice growth, but I wish there was another slot so I could put in another UVL660. A 5-lamp fixture would be ideal for me.
This is my recommendation. I know it will work very nicely.
3 UVL 660 and 3 Fiji Purple alternated. Put the 75/25 and a Redsun right in the middle. You won't be disappointed. The bit of Tri-band light adds a lot from the 75/25. You will like this combo.

There is already more than enough 420nm light in ALL of the lamps. There is even a peak of 420 in the redsun and the uvl660 believe it or not.
Keep your fixture about a foot above your canopy and let the plants grow up to it. I wouldn't let your plants get more than a few inches close to the lights or they will burn a little if they touch the lamps. Take photos and show us how it goes for you.
Bulbs are in - 3 of the 4 have germed and they are going into soil tomorrow.
Questions - If/When the Purples go - and they are getting due - what to rep them with?
Also - I know you don't bloom under T5, but just the same - what should I swap out come Bloom time? Please note - I don't have 3 660s, I have 4, so there is an extra right now...maybe swap out the 75.25 for the Coral Wave? Maybe swap out a FIJI for a Red Sun? Or a couple FIJI for a couple Red Suns? Or a Red Sun and the other 660?
Also - not sure what most folks do, but this will be a short veg, probably 4 weeks. I have to have it all broken down by mid December - guests over holidays. Will start back up in January.
