It seems most posts I've seen people generally use 4- T5's or T8's for Veg. I have a T8 setup but it is only 2 bulbs. Will this be worth it to veg 5-10 plants or should i get one with at least 4 bulbs?

I used to put them in front of the window for a few hours a day to get some sun light. I switched to cfl and they have been happy ever since.

I used to veg 2 plants under 2 t8s and it worked decent. I kept one above and one hanging verticle next to the plants. But if you're doing that many plants you're probably going to have pproblems. The 2 were really not enough for 2 plants
