WRONG! there is no Par value to Actinic (420nm-450nm) so it does nothing but pop color.

To the OP
What bulb are you running? I used to run 2x 250w Phoenix 14k bulbs and didnt have any actinic. It still popped color and I got excellent growth!

You dont need to run actinic but if you wanted to I would go LED with Royal Blues.

Pardon me OP if I was in correct, but I had been told before that actinics aid and are primarily the light used for growth. I didn't claim to be right. Just my opinion. Sorry everyone that I made a simple mistake. No need to be rude though.
