Hi, I am new to the board as well as the world of growing. I have read the Cannabis grow bible, as well as done extensive research about CFLs. On the other hand, I am totally lost in the world of HPS etc. lights. I don't know half the stuff people talk about with regular bulbs.
So I decided to start with a CFL grow. First off, I am not in the greatest location to grow, so I have had to improvise a lot. Second I don't really have the cash right now to buy a bunch of materials.
I was just wondering if you guys could give me an idea of what type of yield I might get with my setup. Basically I have a 26W 6700K CFL on 1 plant. I know that isn't hardly enough, but I take the plant and put it in direct sunlight for about 6 hours out of 24 hours. Right now it is vegging with only a couple of leaves. I bought a 42W 2700K light I am planning on using for flowering. I also have 20-20-20 fertilizer that I haven't applied yet, as the plant is only about 2-3 weeks old.
So basically I know my setup is shit, but I think after this initial trial I will upgrade a bunch of stuff. I just wanted to see if this will actually work.
So I already know one light isn't enough, but will the sunlight make up for it a little bit? I am hoping you guys can give me an idea of the quality/quantity of marijuana I can harvest.
