high output cfls will do a lot more than you think a t5 HO fixture put out UV..there's used all the time from growing and sustaining life in a salt water coral tanks.

Whats your growing area? lengthxwidthxheight. Those will/should determine how much light you need.

With that size/area I could see why you would want one of the t5 setups.. BUT, flourecents dont penetrate more than 12" at BEST.. so that blows your 3.5' height. a 400 or 600 watt on a mover would be the closest to outside sunlight you can do, as long as you can deal with the heat.
Pm me after this for better greenhouse veggies/
