Well, on the T5s, the biggest problem is light penetration during flowering. I'd scrog them with the screen the same size as the light fixture and stick the light right on top of them as close as you can get without burning the plant.
I've run my clones through about first 3 weeks under flos before and usually still do, but I've never tried to flower with flos, even the T5s don't put out nearly enough for my taste...but I'm also plant-numbers limited, so I do long veg times with bigger plants. Sorry I can't give you any first hand experience/results. If money is an issue, I guess you're going to have to do it...(or veg them until well rooted then stick em outside to finish). Let me know how it works out.
