I have 10 T5 bulbs all together. (1 six bulb and 1 four bulb) The last time I ran with 4-6500k and 6-2700k and my buds were kinda airy. This time I am running 2-6500k, 3-2700k and 3-3000k alternating colors. It looks like a rainbow. I don't know yet, but I have a White Rhino that is sure producing some nice super hard nugs now. It is week 5 of bloom. If anything, it sure looks prettier.
I guess scientifically though, The white and blue spectrums promote more vegetative growth, so I would say more yellow and red and less blue is a nice mix. Seems to be working for me.
