might be able to finish a plant or 2 under that
doubt you`d get much yield
is the record half a gram a watt with cfl`s ? lol

if you like fluorescent lighting, I would surgest you get some induction lamps or T5 lamps instead
the 105w 3000k cfls can make buds but you`ll get .25g per watt if your lucky
small led lights make more sense there not even expensive now
cob and smd types seem to be best
you can get BC and E27 cap led lights for almost nothing
or 40w to 400w induction lamps are cheap, I got a 300w induction off ebay for £30 a month or so ago and have seen many on there cheap
there better than cfl`s not quite as good gpw wise as hids are but they are fun lights to use
I mix them with leds as I think florescent lights add a little something nice to have one in a grow space, but I normally use them along side led or hid`s

First thing, give up on hypothetical questions with a multitude of variables. The only way to know the yield is to do it. It's your first rodeo so go into it expecting very little, and to learn a lot. Best of luck.

How do you think this is looking at the moment? I've LST for more light at the bottom.. noticed its doing well as the bottom leaves have grown alot in the last week.. when do you think I should flowet this? Now? Or wait a few more weeks? I'm still not sure if its a male or female.. also ive burnt a few leaves from the cfls. Not long got myself a fan

Dont get discouraged away from cfls, it can work very well. I recomend 80w per plant though. If you have 10 minutes read this guide, she pulled 6.2oz off her first plant in cfl, and with a simple setup and nutrients
Whoever told you youre going to get 7 grams a plant must have been growing with a pen light.

Lol pen light.. my pal has the proper setup. Tent, carbon filter, hes using cfls and also HPS and I think a T5.. I think the only reason hes saying I'll get 7 gram is because his is alot better lol... I'm only growing with 7 20 watt CFLs and just yesterday gave my plant some nutes.. miracle grow.. I heard its not the best but its all I had. Noticed it grown alot in the last few hours

I forgot to post the link, 7 grams to 150+ this girl pulled off with an easy cfl setup is a big jump
