T8 Lighting

Hey guys and gals. I don't see too much discussion on T8 lighting. I remember reading places that it doesn't put out enough lumens for good use, but that didn't stop me from trying. I have a few grows now vegged out with T8 lighting and assisted blooming with T8 lighting and had really similar numbers to only using MH for vegging and the same bloom just without the T8's. I'm starting around 6 plants out now using 4 T8 bulb fixtures (2 bulb fixtures). I believe each bulb consumes 32 watts which totals around 256 watts for starting the 6 plants. Thoughts?

I also have my backup 600 MH and a backup 1000 watt fixture for vegging if necessary. Also I can take pictures of the progress if anyone is interested. Cheers!
