Had a little over 10,000 lumens over and adjacent to the plant in my grow box. Brought it over to a buddies tonight expecting mission success if I got over an ounce. Imagine how excited I was when he told me I got over 2 ounces.

How would you rate the yield of the grow based off of its CFL status and small size?

I bought the biggest rubbermaid I could find, about 1x1x3 but obviously with at least some lights up top it was less than 3 feet vertical space. Organic soil from a local greenhouse, AK-48 feminized seed I bought from nirvana-shop. I always had at least 42 W, 2800 lumens each. I had a couple 6800 K and two more 2600 K so had the two extremes of the spectrum. I just used Green Lightnin' for vegetative and fox farms big bloom for flowering. I stopped using the fert a couple weeks before harvest and gave it the only water flush it got in its life. left it in the dark a couple days before harvest.

I had the two blue light cfls up top and two yellow light bulbs kind of hanging down beside the plant. the whole thing was lined with space blanket and had a 4" inline fan going to a carbon filter. Didn't top or LST it in any way so had a huge main coda. I'll probably at least pinch the top a couple times for the next grow so the main coda isn't so dominant.

It was all very DIY, but I upgraded to the smallest growlab, 150 W HPS, and two 42 W blue CFL's for the blue spectrum. Also a new seed, Black Jack, might turn out to be purps :D

Actually it was fast curing.

Cut the plant down Friday and hung the branches in my grow box that had a 4" inline fan blowing out with passive intakes at the bottom. I must have had really dry air or something because those buds were smokable when I brought them to my dealer Sunday night. He deals with pounds a year and is used to dealing with buying wet bud that loses weight as it drys. He said mine was totally dry. I'll have to monitor humidity next time.
