You will not get an ounce per plant with a 200 watt CFL. I get an ounce per plant + with a 400 HPS, but I've been growing indoors under lights for almost 15 years.

Two bagseed is a pretty small sample to hope to get at least one female. Let's hope you're not unlucky.

Yes, you can start 12/12 from germination, but really dont expect more than a couple grams per plant if you do.

Get more lights, is my best advice.

Good luck

thanks for the reply and im not using normal lightbulbs its from hydro shop and my space is really small so HID or metal hide would make far to much heat and most likely fry my plants... im a heavy smoker aswell and getting sick of buying shit bud for top dollar from assholes in my area... do you think i should veg at least 3-4 weeks first then switch to 12/12.... thhank you for your time.... stay green and get high

You can only veg as long as your space and light allow. If you've got a tiny space, then vegging for 3-4 weeks will make plants that badly overgrow your space and touch the lights during late flowering, if not after the stretch. You need to look into training your plants with LST supercropping so they stay short and dense, and then follow the general rule of plant size when switching to 12/12....assume you plants will get at least twice as large from when you switch. Then it's up to you to guesstimate the time to flower.
 
12/12 from seed is the only way, an ounce might be unrealistic per plant but you'll definitely get more than a few grams with 100w's per plant cfl or Not :) 2 and 1/2 foot tall plant will still pump out a lot of bud
