the T5 is in 6400K (Kelvin color) and would only do good for Veg IMOO, also, Im not sure its the HO type (high output) can't seems to find that info ?

the CFL is full daylight (can't seems to find the actual Kelvin ?) so it should be 5000K or anything between 3500 and 5000K and would be ok for a full run

the Tube`s might be better to cover more ground equally, would work good for Veg as I said for a few plant`s the CFL is only on 125W so I wouldn't count to use it on more then one plant, would probably do ok on a single auto from start to finish

nahhh just a matter of speech, by that I mean a small plant, as one of them CFLs on 125W won't grow more then a small auto or a Reg/Femi plant with some kind of scrog/LST done to it as CFLs don't penetrate much more then 10" and only at 2-8 they provide good strong light for bloom so if you want to grow from start to finish with any kind of fluorescent you need to be creative as the "light zone" is`t as big as with Etc HID lights or quality LEDs
