    Hi mate, welcome to the forum

    T5's are great for veg but you'll really want something with a bit more penetration for flowering

    Welcome Jimbo

    That's 9 T5 units, would be better advised to go 1000w HPS on a dimmable digi ballast but kick em off at 250w metal halide, that way you can lift the light so's not to bleach or fry 'em and the MH will slow their stretch, word of caution you'll need good extraction to maintain temps.
