Does anyone have any frags that have TRUE colors under "NORMAL" temp bulbs. Im so tired of seeing frags under a million watts of 20k with
2 million watts of actinic or blue t5/vho...

talking about they have special frags...selling for only 1 million dollars a 1/4 inch

ANYONE???????

i got a few but like you said so rare to come across. i'll need the million in advance. Setosas are always bright as well as any yellows and neon greens. Like a nice neon green florida can be quite the centerpiece. another example, yellow slimer and even a deep red digi. if you want the blues and purples to be crazy bright without all the heavy actinics it's simple. high nutrients. but of course, faster export of them as well.
