you'll do fine with those for germ/veg...I use t-8 floros for all my green room lighting....saves the $, just keep them right on top of the plants, they won't burn even if they touch.

.....that 600 you've got is very hard to beat for flowering as well........you could also incorporate it into your veg cycle as well if you're willing to cope with the added heat and expense. It will give you turbo-charged results in veg also!!
