So I've been using a 4x55W CF fixture on my 33L for some weeks now since it's been set up (and years ago in my previous incarnations in this hobby), and I've always used actinic bulbs in half the sockets and 10K bulbs in the other two. I used actinic based on the knowledge that the spectrum it puts out closely matches the absorption spectrum of Chlorophyll A. So I thinks "hey, that must be really good for plants".
But here I now read that it's not so good for plants, but with little explanation as to why.
Anyone have any reasons why it's not ideal?
PS: just placed an order for 6700's to replace the actinics a few minutes ago.
