Is this your first attempt at growing? If it is, and without sounding like a total dick, never give yourself a target of 2 ozs with that kind of setup. It isn't realistic, and you'll only be disappointed come harvest time.

To answer your original question, it isn't possible to answer your question accurately. There are too many factors involved when trying to 'guess' if this lighting or that lighting is sufficient to yield an ounce. It is possible to yield a dry ounce with little lighting, but everything else in your grow has to be expertly managed.

So you're planning on moving them outside during the Spring? And you'll veg them inside for 3 months before moving them outside??

Growing marijuana isn't difficult, but it does require doing some research beforehand so you know what you're doing. Post pics, do more research, ask legitimate questions on how to improve your setup, and don't set crazy targets.

God speed.

Save yourself time and money, and just throw it under your HPS. Your current CFL setup just won't cut the mustard in terms of returning a decent yield, and since you already have a big HPS, why not just use that?

I did my first start to finish grow entirely in a cardboard box setup I made(now obsolete) its possible to get what your looking for. I managed to pull a lil over a zip on three plants in I think 2gal pots(def not bigger than that I think). Mind you it was my first grow with like 8-23 watters. I still consider myself a noob at this so take it with a grain of salt but I think more light and you'd have a shot at two zips. But again I'm no expert.
