is 156 watts enough to veg

i ordered some white widow. hopefully itll make it through customs. i dont have an hps yet. im going to have a 1000 watt in a few weeks. what i do have right now is some lights from a planted fish tank. two 3-foot 78 watt t-5HO fixtures with one 10k bulb and one plant bulb(~4k) each. will this do my plants right or should i wait to germinate till i have the hps/mh?

they will do fine for a little while, so people keep there seedling under t-5s for weeks, but I only keep mine under them for a few days.

You should consider CFLs..

check out the CFL forum and you can get some good ideas...

a couple 43 watt CFLs can help a lot

t-5ho are more intense than cfls. your saying i just need more watts in general? i mean i know they will grow, but this is my first time growing bud. i dont want them stretching or anything but the healthiest environment. but id also like to go ahead and start growing in stead of witing 3 weeks for my hps/mh. how much more light would be enough you think?

anyone have any thoughts?

I heard fdd can veg with a pilot light and grow 3 pounds. Amazing
