Grow Lights?

I was recently told my grow lights may not be good for flowering. Life recently decided it needed a new bitch and that was us. It definitely set back plans to upgrade certain things, so I want to figure out where I can skimp a bit.

I am currently using these lights. Will they be okay? Should I try to keep my plants in veg and just make them thick and massive for when I can switch to flower with a new light?

Those lights would cover a 2x4 area decently for flowering, wouldn't go larger than that. If you let the plants grow bigger then get a more powerful light, just think about how big they'll be after the first three weeks of flower.

It would work...just won't give the best results. Only way to know how bad or good your end result will be is to try if another light is out of the question.

Those are probably good for seedlings and early veg. They are going to have to been very close to the plants to provide sufficient light through veg, and you're going to have to constantly move them to keep them close to the plant as it grows. I probably wouldn't recommend them for flowering though.

Sorry, should have mentioned I have a 5x5 grow tent. Does that the 2x4 area count each of the six lights, or just the single light?

Currently out of the question for now. I can try and keep them in veg and when the heat starts to cool I could move them outside possibly?

The lights come in 6 separate pieces. Would it be better to maybe hang them going up-down to give more coverage to the plants?

As always thanks to everyone for the advice!
