the blue plus bulb has just about the same par as a day light bulb so you get the same growth for blue bulbs as white bulbs
i have been using this combo for 2 years great color and great growth with one day light bulb

It's your fault that I have so much light with your bulb combo, that I'm bleaching stuff down on my sand bed. Lol
