Will 4 65w cfls be enough for a big harvest?

Hi, im totally new to this but fancy a dabble at growing my own. Id like to grow 2 lowryder/ak47 plants for my own use in a cupboard. I dont want to mess around with loads of kit really and want to keep it simple as posible. Will heat be a problem and what amount could I expect from the plants? Also would it be a good smoke if I look after them with ferts and loads of tlc? Thanks

with 4 cfls you can probably keep the plants small (under 2) feet finished. I did that with my first grow. I dont remember exactly how much i pulled of both plants but i know I had a little more than a 1/4 off one cola. With more cfls you can get more with your 2 plants. Right now im using 4-5 cfls per plant will have pics up soon. IDK if it will be the same for you because ive heard bad things about the auto-flower strains. I would recommend more lights, but if your gonna continue you might still pull off a smokeable amount.

What color temps are your lights?
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Im gunna get 2 2700 and 2 6500. I just want to drill 2 holes in the cupboard for ventilation, as heat shouldnt be a problem? Would it be better just to just grow 1 plant at a time, would i almost get the same amount as if i were doing 2 plants?

you want 60-85 watts per plant as long as you keep them under 2 feet tall. search for the LST threads and read those. if you apply LST to your 2 plants you will be able to get a fairly decent yield with 4 65watt bulbs, assuming that is actual wattage and not equivalent wattage.
