Using t5s for vegging

Hey, Im looking to substitute a 4ft t5 in my vegg room in place of a 400 MH that broke down. I ordered the ballast from HTG but should I go with 4 "grow" floros or mix the spectrum with warm bulbs as well? These are for clones and moms only, I flower with a 1000 hps. So would a mixed spectrum be better or straight 6k light?

ive had great luck with just reagular T8 grow lights (6500k verilux bulbs), i just use them for seedlings right now but im sure there great for clones too. i would only be worried about the mother, a nice sized plant is gonna need some light...(dont know if a t5 will even cut it..) but maybe someone with more experience can help you better with that. and im pretty sure 6000-7000 K is what you want for both clones and veg.
