Is a 3ft f21t5 3000k and 5 23w cfls at 5600k good for veg? For too seedlings! Or should i get the t5 buld at 5000k too!?

thats bulk light you could do away with the cfls and just use the t5 IMO, seedlings dont need much and its not hard to burn them either

For two plants? That's more than enough light. Like shagg mentioned, be careful not to kill them with too much light while they're very young.

color would do fine but it's 21W and its 3 feet long... so this light is not enough, If I would need to use from what you have, I would put 2 cfl per plant for first 3 weeks it should be fine, so 5 cfls with that t5 is even better for vegging. Of course it depends on how long you want to veg, but if not more than 4-5 weeks, you're fine as long as you keep them 1-3inches from tops.
