yes, I use a 4Ft 6tube to Veg with
6-8 weeks from seed, depend on how much Veg time I like to give em, but after 2 weeks as seedlings and 4 in Veg I do have problems keeping 4 plants under them, normally I trow em in under the 600W HPS and veg em for another week wile I turn down the light hrs 1/2 a day untill I reach 12/12
remember, with T5HO or any tube the trick is to keep em close (with in 2-6 inch`s from the tops) as tube`s or CLFs for that matter don't provide much penetration, my light meter don't show much after 10 inch`s and after 12" I don't even get a reading
my 600W HPS give me between 3 and 7 times as much light from 1-2 feet away
