I have read most of this thread and by the end, I get a bit lost. Think the missing pages had info I was looking for. Forgive me if this is a repeat question but I want to be certain I have the most up to date info.
I recently purchased a 2', 4 bulb viavolt T5 (

I just reconfigured my grow space, finding that it might be in my best interest to light a 2x3x4.5' flowering cab with t5s because the 600 hps really heats up my hydro reservoir.
Few Qs:
Flowering with a 4 bulb, which 4 bulbs would provide the spectrum needed for flower? Order?
Flowering with an 8 bulb, which 8 bulbs? And the order?
I realize the last one is discussed quite a bit, but Professor had managed to make an easy to read sequential list without all the techy info. I was planning on following that, but realize that in the 2 years since he posted it there have probably been some updates or advances on the matter.
The 4 bulb question is the most important and relevant to me. Your input is appreciated.
