Hello Everyone
I was thinking about getting a 4ft 4 bulb T5 high output fluorescent lamp just for vegetative growth. This lamp has a grow area of 4 x 2.5 and has a total of 20,000 lumens. Whats attracting me to this lamp is its low heat and wattage.

Will 20,000 lumens be enough for 10 plants? or will I be wasting more time in the veg stage with this lamp?
Is a cool blue 600w HPS (50,000 lumens) be a better move for about 10 plants in the veg stage? And just bite the bullet with the extra wattage and heat.
Thank You for your time.
