I believe that the daylight tubes are rated around 5000 Kelvin and are excellent for vegging. Switch to a bulb with a lower Kelvin rating for flowering (red spectrum bulb around 2700 kelvin)
Sounds like it would be ideal for vegging, but I was a bit confused as to what light you have, I have the same type of fixture, Mines a 2' PLL55 wattOne Half Of The Bulb When Swiched On Is Normal And The Other Half Is Blue
Is This Ok For Vegging?

Hey thanks for your help man +rep
OK here goes.
I have 3 bulbs but i can only use 2 of them for growing.
Thought the daylight blue was 36watt but its only 24.
here is the info
interpet 24w t5 (1393) daylight blue <--1 side blue 1 side normal
fsl ydw36-hrr 36watt <--- both sides normal
interpet 55watt t5 (1397) beauty light <--- both sides normal
So out of the 3 bulbs there which 2 should i use for vegging?
Right now i got the 24watt daylight blue & fsl ydw36-hrr
and thanks again for your help,
Soon as they get back to me, I'll post what they tell me.
He already has the fixtures, he just wasn't sure he could use the PL-L biax tubes he has, but since the manufacturer responded to the inquirery, they are well within the grow spectrum needed and aren't Actinic spectrums, so he doesn't need to buy anything else as what he has is good to go.For t5's I would buy the 54 watt with a reflector and connect them. Theyre about $50 a piece for a 4ft t5 with a reflector.
