Most vendors seem to supply MHs with T5 actinics... Must be a reason for it.

Perhaps MH like the correct frequency punch in that range - or the T5s can be used to allow a lower light start to the day...

They (T5) will work fine to supplement MH although most seem to prefer the look of VHO actinics. Many people seem to prefer the blue+ T-5s over the T-5 actinics when they're used to supplement halides.

Vendors supply MH with T5 actinics because those bulbs are thin enough you can fit into a fixture without taking up terribly much room :)

Thanks guys I was thinking VHO would look better, but not having seen T5's with MH I was not sure. I'll probably go with VHO.
