A few questions before I try to grow.

Just a quick question about light temperature. Would 5900K be OK for vegetation stage or do I need the 6500K? I have T5 Ultralux bulbs.

can't give you experience on t5's, but that should be a good temp
i use 5500k cfl's(nvision from home depot) - excellent veg growth from low wattage
6500k might make for more veg growth, but i've found veg to be easy
flowering lights is what will make or break the grow

what is recommended for flowering?

so far, i've only used 2700k cfl's
that seems to work very nice, though i did get carried away with using the same set of cfl's for 2 years
they had begun to run out of gas, hard to tell from the eye but yields began to suffer
i'm not really up on the t5's if that's what you're planning on flowering with
there may be some quirks with t5's for flower, they look to be very good for veg
