Is anyone running XM10K anymore supplemented with VHO. I'm thinking about switching my 400HQI SE Reeflux 12K Lumenarc to a 250 Hamilton HQI, XM 10k supplented by 4x24" VHO Retro with URI(whatever their new name now) Super Actinics. Will that be enough actinic to wash the yellow out from the XM bulb. Many thanks

- Nick

Hey Nick, im running dual 10k reeflux right now and its pretty yellow. Im use to the 14k phoenix. I recently supplemented it with 4x110 watt vhos and it looks a little better. My growth is a lot better and my colors are also nicer. I see this in just 2 weeks. I cant wait for a year to pass.

yeah, I used to run 2x250W reeflux supplented my 36" VHO, I loved it until I tore my other 100 cube down. I'm looking for good par now and man I was about to go with some saki 6500k because of the par but its waaaay to yellow even supplemented I heard.

Hello Nick, i am running 4x250w with reeflux 10K and PFO HQI ballast. I don't even need VHO supplement. The color is great @ 113PPFD. If you are running 400w HQI, you should get 170PPFD. XM 10K on HQI ballast will be yellow, with 4 VHO, you should be able to washout the yellow look.
