Anybody use T5 HOs and LED Panels together? I'm planning on setting up a 8 tube t5 fitting with 4 LED Panels. Will it work? I'm thinking around 8-10 plants.

Is it enough or do you suggest I get more T5s? It's my first time growing so I have no idea. Also, can I run all the lights from the veg to the end?

Well I didnt see you said 8-10 plants. Your only problem would be getting good light coverage.

depends on what kind of panel you buy. If you buy the cheap ass 225 led 14w panel off ebay those lights will not contribute to the garden at all. If you spend real money and get some high end 3w chipset, 180w or greater led panels then yes you'll have yourself a party. There is a massive difference in led grow light efficacy, and 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for. If you're spending less than $200 per panel, chances are it's a piece of crap.

Just ordered the seeds Top 44, Auto Blueberry and Ak-47. Did it off marijuana-seeds.nl.. Reliable site and reliable strains?

I personally don't order anything from the Netherlands, it tends to get flagged quicker than ordering seeds from the UK which as worked well for me. Have grown auto ak it's a solid heady auto. I've tried several auto blueberry strains, the only one that lived up to the name was smurfberry which was a hybrid of blueberry and some other fruity indicas. Best of luck bro, would consider ordering seeds from a reputable bank in the uk or other points abroad next time.

I read alot about this place and most people have said its legit with its 'stealth delivery' and everything. I ordered all fem seeds. Make life a little easier for me.

fem seeds is def the way to go, unless you're planning on breeding which can be beneficial as you cannot clone autos so if you're planning on growing a lot you may want to bite the bullet and make some of your own seeds as opposed to ordering new fems every time. Growing males is a bitch but male autos usually show themselves by day 20 so you're really not out that much in terms of a time investment.
