The bulbs came in and they were the correct kelvin but the wrong type bulb... can you say Sparks!! Instead of sending back the bulbs I liberated 4 from one of my shop-lights and had to rewire that shop-light differently to accept the new bulbs, I may order 6500 next year.
Ten bulb shop-light in place, the outer 4 LED bulbs can be unplugged if needed.
The test subjects seem to be thriving so the lights seem adequate for greens.

I think this is Parris Island Romaine.
Heat Mats are all on the same temperature controller.
I ordered new trays, my original trays would split after a season of use.
These are Permanest Tray and domes from
Indoor Garden Supplies
.
Tray#
GS2211
and the dome is a
V2211
.
I decided to order "permanent cups" These cups are awesome, nice and sturdy, and can be run through the dishwasher. The taller ones are 20 oz. cups and fit 18 to a tray (barely) and 17 to a tray (comfortably). The smaller ones are 10 oz. cups and fit 21 to a tray (comfortably). The different colors are nice too, so I can plant according to color for a quick reference.

This is how things look right before hardening off.
