    My new plans for bulb purchases are these please comment:

    My objective is better growth while not losing too much of my color so for the MH its gonna be 3 250w XM 10k, these should provide ample par for great growth results the downside is the whiteness so to achieve some color Im planning to supplement with a Fiji Purple 54w and ATI SpecialBlue 54w. What do you guys think?

    I would not supplement with a fiji purple, that's basically a more red daylight bulb. I would use either actinic bulbs or blue bulbs to supplement.
