I'm a fan of my T5, but I plan to get a MH because I'm growing medicine for myself. The MH has a stronger discharge and can penetrate the canopy more effectively, meaning more buds further down the main stem on your Autoflowers. When your girls get closer to maturation, you will notice a thick main cola right at the top, and various other buds over the rest of the plant. The less trimming you do, the bushier it is, the more preflowers it will pop out. If you're growing just for personal recreational use, a T5 is alright. If you're a commercial grower or a medical grower, you'd probably want HID.
Just my two cents. I'm usually wrong though :D

The T5 setup I want is a 4 bulb 2' hood their selling for about $130
Or I could go with a HID for about $200 + whatever I'll need for airflow
So Im not really sure what I should do..
I could get 2 sets of T5's And stand them on end on either side of the plants so they penetrate thru..?
Or 5 sets & make a complete enclosed light box..!! LOL

Yah I already have a fan that could handle the T5's but if I go MH or HPS I'd go for a self contained closed unit which I think would be hella lots compared to the one I already have..lol

They actually make grow set-ups like what you're describing, Jack. It's an enclosed box with lights all around the sides, and one on top. I was also thinking of getting another T5, to shine in from the sides like you said. Heat is definitely going to be a problem for you when you step up to the big lights, but I noticed the Hydro stores have these self-contained 250w units. If you plan to stick to just a couple autoflowers, I'm sure that would be adequate light without throwing off too much heat?
Glad to see some big true leaves on your chicks! What're their names?

From what I've found, autoflowers usually show there sex around day 15. I have no idea why yours are so late?
