T8 first grow

Hey guys,

Total newbie here, managed to get my hands on BNIB 10 x 5ft T8 58W 4000k for next to nothing.
How many plants could I grow with these and how far apart should I space them?
Can I veg and flower with these lights, how important is the red light? I'll be growing 45 day auto's

Thanks for any help!

Too be brutally honest, I suggest putting them for sale somewhere and use the money toward a better lighting setup.

Really that bad? Being short of money, my plan was to replace the bulbs gradually with led T8 replacements i.e these " LED T8 Fluorescent Tube Replacements ([6000k] - Daylight, 5ft - 24w - 2300L [58w Replacement])

Can you clarify on what they are? 5ft? or 4 ft?
You could flower a 2'x4' with 20 4ft T8 Lamps
3 mid sized plants of 6 smaller and roll
