how much bud will i get from 6x 105w compact fuorescents..

[theegrassilike]

the space is 4foot high and 2by 3 i will do a few bushy plants how much bud will i get from 6x 105w compact fuorescents in this space. the compact fuorescents are 6200 lumen each the plants will be 3 to 4 ft. tall

[GrowMe]

Exactly 14 ounces :S3:

[theegrassilike]

how did you arive at that answer?

[theegrassilike]

also these plants are supercropped.

your plants will not be 4 ft tall because ur cab is 4 ft . ur grow height is lowered by lights and heat that is produces by same lights and reflector .

yield depend of many numbers of reasons. u will never now exactly how much will u get until u try .

[Bodom Children Of]

u will never now exactly how much will u get until u try .

correct

[theegrassilike]

the space minus the light is 4.5 feet so they will be 4ft.

6 105wcfls? i wouldn't expect much. an oz maybe. get a bigger light and you'll get a lot more

[GrowMe]

Ive heard of people getting good results with CFLs.. Especially if you have over 600 watts..I'm using a 200 Watt CFL along with 4 other small cfls giving us a little over 300 watts..i'm sure our plants would be bigger if we had more light but if thats what you have to work with, so be it...They're growing so they must not mind flourescent bulbs that bad..

Good Luck!!!

And not that i'm anyone to be dishing out advice but if i can help with one thing it would be, not to worry about the end result too much..Get it going first and make sure your plants are healthy, yield isn't even in my mind yet..

If i get an ounce of smokable buds from 2 plants, i would consider it a success (considering its my first grow and i didn't even know the definition of germinate 2 months ago) :S5:

Again good luck and post pics please..

GrowMe ... i agree with u !

I started my grow in space witch is like 9 square foot . In there i had only 8000 lumens (4 fluorus and 3 cfl-s ) but my plant was developing nicely .

theegrassilike . . . u got smaller space and 37200 lumen in there so
your plant will surely be bushy whit allot buds .

u will harvest decent amount . let us now ! :thumbsup:

Good luck . Peace . :rastasmoke:

Dreamergirl had a couple questions for ya..

Organic or hydro? How many watts? How many plants? And how was your end result?

THanks if you get the time to hit me back..

[DreamerGirl7]

it's still organic grow ;)

doesn't matter how many watts , it's only about lumen ! !

under 8000 lumen i started with 4 plants . 1 plant was male and 2 hermi :mad: sucks , i know :cool:

i'm still flowering one under 400w hps ! u can see pictures here :

Any experienced grower using standard growing methods explained on this site should be getting +/- 1 gram per watt. If you're a master grower, maybe more. If you have to ask, probably less.

but all depend on dimensions of growing area and equipment used in that area and how many plants are in there ?

someone can have 20 square foot but no money to invest in proper
lights for that area . so he/she growing with lights witch he/she have . then grower ( i think ) cannot get +/- 1 gram per watt or ?

[DreamerGirl7]

btw . . thanks for answer ;)

Depends only on the proper equipment and efficient use thereof.
1 gram per watt per flower cycle or 0.5g per watt per month (most strains=8 weeks).
This equation only applies to PROPER HPS lighting under ideal conditions.
To find ideal conditions, look at the logs of growers who know their chops.

Exactly.
Of course, +/- 1 gram per watt is just a ball park estimate. There is no way to predict how much actual bud will come from a given plant, even under the most controlled conditions.

I've learned the ideal conditions long time ago .

thanks for other informations . i've also learned something new .

thanks again. peace . :jointsmile:

Holy shit. I have 6, 26 watt CFLs 4 are reg, 2 are daylight for a total of 156 watts (equivalent to 600 watts, 100 watt equivalent per bulb) and over 10,000 lumens for two small plants.

According to your calc, I should get over 5 oz??? 156 watts = 150 grams= 5+ Ounces????

[melodious fellow]

Sorry, forgot to mention, I have ideal conditions in all areas, correct temps, vent system, ph, nutes, etc etc

But still, for only 6 CFL bulbs, I certainly wasn't expecting to pull 5 plus lids off 2 bagseed plants. They are in a 3x1x1 speaker, so I have grown them mostly 12/12 the entire time to keep a christmas tree shape, but this does not negatively affect yield at all from all my research, it is the natural way to grow (often greatly improves yield, the grow just takes longer from start to finish)

So yay, now I have my hopes up! I'll be siked if I get 2 lids!
