Huh, call my answer bullshit? Your telling me guys are getting yields equal to COB'S or HID from T5. I said yes you can grow just just fine but other options are better, maybe you should make sure you understand a person's post before you dis them, oh forget this is Internet everyone is more of an expert than next person and has to tell them, instead of just offering advice. Another Internet asshole on my list Dr. Who.
The fact IS! YOUR WRONG "asshole"!

Didn't even LOOK at the link I gave did you!

Betcha I've been growing longer then YOU'VE been ALIVE!

As long as you supply the needed light power (LUX) and a usable spectrum.....MOST lighting methods can reach plant potentials!
T5's fall into that category EASILY! The ability to control spectrum and intensity make T5's a great option for potential goals!

Cheap LED's don't!

Another BS answer!

T5's adequate? You bet your ass they are! Just have to have enough!

Look at RM3's T5 only grows and weep !!!

The thing I would say is "Stay away" from cheap LED lighting! Unless you by or build COBB LED's ,,,, they're not worth it!
They do a good job at vegging but, those stupid "blurple" lights fall on their face for quality Blooming!

DE HID
CDM HID
even "plain" HID will be a better LONG term investment!!!! @40below
OR simply supply enough T5's and use differing spectral bulbs for some real spectral control, including UVB!

How big a space will you be using?
Everyone wants to go "bigger", so look at being bigger and consider 1K DE (dual end) Gavita light.....OR simple 1K HID (they now have Dual Arc bulbs that combine 600w of HPS with 400w of MH to give a broader spectrum) and of course CDM - Ceramic Metal Discharge lights !

Enough Light = The easiest, most effective way to bigger more dense buds!
Right now I have one going into flower. 10 more in about 3-4 weeks. I only have about 2k for lights and need enough light for about 10. Everything I have read T5's work well with a little work. I also have about 10 t8's. I think those are only good for veg.
