I have been using the ones that came with my setups just fine.. But there again, I can't say if they are better or worse than others. But they do work!

Stick with the Agromax. mix the 5500k and 6500k for veg and then just use the 3000k with 2 6500k's tossed in for flower.

Although LV has given you good advice, I would get as many zoomed florosuns as I could afford. Even if you can only add one per week or two, it looks like you have 6 weeks to go, so by the time you want to crank it, you should have ~ 4/8 florosuns; but that's ~ $100, I have no idea the price of the Agromaxes.

oh sorry, I'm on it now. 2x2 with 4 x kessil red h150 and 108w blu T5 mix. 1 dna lemon skunk, 1 rp sour d and 1 #1 blueberry.
I built the 150's into the top of the cab.edit. sorry, uggh what am I smoking? It's 4 x h150 red and 4 X 24w blu T5 at 96w not 108w. That's for my 4' cab. In the 4' cab I'm running a 3k 1000w mh also. I'm not that happy with all the yellow in the mh though as I don't think it adds much more growing energy.
The blu T5 is 2 x 24w actinic plus Giesemann and 2 x 24w UVL 454nm blu.

Teach me. Where can I find these lights? I just got a 4ft 8 tube system myself. What kind of pots are these? they've peaked my interest

Depending on the quality of the bulbs, 6500s are fine for veg. Quantums did a very nice job for me, then I ran across the blog LED Without LEDs My First T5 Grow.
What we're doing is hot roding. And like hot roding, it's hard to expect changing up (or out) one thing to make a big difference by itself.
You might add 1 ATI (or similar) Special Blue Actinic + 1 Zoomed Florosun, but whether spending $45 will provide $45 worth of benefit depends on your strain and grow techniques.
So, if you have good grow skills aquarium bulbs should be worth the price
