I've used flouros for veg many times. Hell, I used shop lights from lowes..the 4' jobbers from start to finish. Wasnt the best harvest but it worked.

From what I've researched, the t5ho floro is the better choice for growing. They produce a higher lumen per watt and are available in very good color spectrums for growing. I've never tried a T8, but I can tell you a t5ho will produce good bud.
