I have used a combination of cool and warm fluorescent lamps in the

Bright White *TL850
DayLight White TL865
Cool White *(3 kinds) *TL841, ADV841, TL741
Neutral White *TL735
DayLight Deluxe DX Alto
Since I can not find (size T8) Gro-Lux that fit in my fixtures, which
one of these is best for plants? * Would a combination of types be
better than any single type? *Does Color Temperature matter? CRI? *I

about how the light "looks to the eye" but more importantly the
efficiency of the tube to making plants grow. * TIA
The TL735's are good. *Plants also seem to like 730's or 830's.
