From experience, I would ditch the vermiculite, and grow in a mix of the organic soil and the perlite... 80/20 or 70/30, 60/40, just more soil than perlite.

I found it hard to keep anything alive in pure vermiculite by just hand watering a few times daily, I think you would have to have a hydro set up to grow in straight vermiculite..

Good job on the new CFL. You are now around 6000 lumens, correct? This will get you by vegging your 3 plants. One or two may be male, leaving you with 1 or two plants to flower. 6000 lumens may be a bit shy to flower 2 plants, unless they were both kept small and flowered early. Either way, you prolly will not yield more than ounce with 6000 lumens.

This cool dude in this here linky http://boards.cannabis.com/closet-ca...ml#post1821825 got an oz with 70 watts of CFL, which is about where you are at. If you are cool with an o, cool. If not, just shoot for 10,000 lumens for flowering, I think that is a reasonable goal.
