Those lights are fine for vegging. Mixing up the spectrum by adding some 3500k wouldn't be a bad thing.

Yeah I want to get lights for flowering so I am curious as to which ones I should get also what lights would be good 4 UV because I heard that t v do not give off a lot of UV and also what do you think about the 10000k finishers

The 6500K bulbs that you have are good for veg........a 3000K bulb would be good for flower.
 
I bought mine from 1000bulb.com.
Spectralux 3000K t5 bulbs - 54w HO - 4 ft.
Couldn't do the link.....but google it.

It's not preferred because of poor light penetration......but it can be done if the plants are trained and not too big. I only use my t5 for the first 3 weeks, then I change over to my led.
