If you've grown using JUST cfl's what was your biggest yeild. Include how many watts per light and how many lights

So far I've pulled off about 17g, but Im harvesting in sections, that is, I harvest the top and leave the remainder to mature, then harvest again and leave remainder, harvest again and leave remainder etc... so I've pulled off 17g (dry) from one plant and I still have 2 plants left. I expect about another oz- 1 1/2oz..thats total yeild of about 2 1/2oz (dry) give or take 1/2oz

I should have similar yields...harvest in a week or two

i have one plant under more than 3500 lumens of CLF lights i keep them 3 inches from plant and they cover plant from head to toe. They worked really good in veg i just switched to 12/12 I will post my yield in about 8 weeks.

my max yield so far is 18 grams, one plant at 2 feet with 150 watt cfl

the strain was Emerald Wonder, very potent, nice exotic smoke.
produced by Solar Warrior and available at vancouverseedbank.ca

Im back again to make a report.

I recently smoked a 36 gram harvest of 3 plants. I used 3 x 42 watt cfls, and 2 x 26 watt cfls on the sides . Along with proper ventilation, a 23-29 degree temperature, and just a few drops of organic iguana juice i produced 1.5 ounces of the best weed around. remember to flush 3 weeks before harvest.

Cfls are good for people who are cheap or broke as fuck. also if you think you smoke less than half an ounce a month, then cfls ar good for you. I wish i had a 1000 watt hps. i could smoke a pound a month.
 
right now i have 3 plants 20 days into flowering under 25,000 lumens of light, looks like it could be a high yeild, maybe even an oz a plant. alot of bud growth in many different spots. one plant is starting to get a beefy cola bud and the others have some meet on them too. ill keep you posted on how much and if i can find my camera cord ill post some photos

Wow, I'm a little curious why all these people are posting yields in grams? What size lights are you guys using and how many? Is that from just one plant? Are you keeping the lights close enough to the plants?

Some of the best SOG and SCROG growers have reported around 1.5g/w (a couple as much as 2g/w, but let's assume they were all lying, for argument's sake) with CFLs, and I think 1g/w should be pretty easy if you do it right. Pick up a book (or download it) called "See More Buds 8oz" or something like that. The guy grew about 8oz with 252w of CFLs and his setup was far from optimal. Anyone should be able to get similar yields with a good producer, and probably a good amount more if you have an enclosed space with reflective walls and CO2.

Umm, yeah, I read the thread, did you? The original poster said:

"If you've grown using JUST cfl's what was your biggest yeild. Include how many watts per light and how many lights"

and a bunch of people replied talking about yields in the grams, such as this guy three posts up:

"I recently smoked a 36 gram harvest of 3 plants. I used 3 x 42 watt cfls, and 2 x 26 watt cfls on the sides . Along with proper ventilation, a 23-29 degree temperature, and just a few drops of organic iguana juice i produced 1.5 ounces of the best weed around. remember to flush 3 weeks before harvest."

So, what are you talking about, and what is it you think I missed in this one and a half-page thread?

I am just at 2 weeks using cfl's in a standup closet thats about 6 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft. I've used those Emergency blankets made of mylar to cover the walls and right now I am using 2x23w (100W replacements) cool white so I believe that puts them around 5000K ratings. Each gives off 1600 Lumens and I have added 2x23w soft white that are 2700K so they're better for flowering. They give off around 850 lumens each. The 2700's are just temporary until my 42w 6500K 14000 lumens Daylight cfl's get delivered. I have done a lot of research on this lately and I would love to see the outcomes of some of those other grows.

Both plants are growing like they're possessed.

cuz u asked y r they posting yeilds in grams...what else would they post them in
and the guy above that ur talking about did post everything....3 plants ,1.5 oz,3-42w,2-26w
so u obviously missed something
