Stealth Grow, give me your opinions/comments/questions

This is my first grow ever and I just want to explain to you my plant and grow room. The plant is just grown from bag seed and is now on day 28. The lights being used are two 13 watt soft white bulbs and 1 fluorescent light with 3 six inch cool white daylight tubes. I want to start flowering now and I need to know that if i add a 26 watt soft white, will I have enough light to flower? Also if possible, I would like to start a second plant in a party cup, I have one LA Confidential seed that I want to use for that. The grow room is 3x3 and I will be using a febreze true air carbon filter for concealing odor. Let me know anything else that you need to know to help.
p.s. I am not expecting or going for a HUGE yield however I would like a considerable amount of bud....same as the rest of us

i would put a couple 26w soft whites in there,remember the plant will double in size during flowering,i would use about 100w(2700k) per plant or more

Light doesn't make cannabis flower, 12 hours of dark does. The amount of light you give your plant will contribute to the amount you harvest. If your boggle is between 1 cfl or as many as you can afford, then the answer is up to you.

Thanks for the info, both of you. Do you have any guesstimate with proper care and the amount of light listed above what my harvest could weigh?

I'd say about 15-20 grams dried weight for a new grower. I'm guessing you've got 50w going right now, tops. Add a 26w bulb and you're up to 75w. CFL's put out about half the lumens of a hps so the "half-gram per watt" noob benchmark is a quarter gram per watt for cfls.

Factor in cheap nutes, shitty soil, poor airflow, and half-gram samples to everybody you told (not trying to be a dick, correct me if I'm wrong) and you're left with a quarter ounce.

My philosophy is.... prepare for the minimum, and enjoy the bounty

Again, I apologize if I sound like a dick...

I would definitly get some more 2700k bulbs in there, 50w per sq foot.. CFL always within inches of foliage

Lol, no offense taken I appreciate your knowledge. I used miracle grow water soluble plant food every other day, there is indeed a small fan in my grow room. I did promise samples to a few people..

I've got an La Confidential with two foot colas on her, very little smell so far and I just noticed trikes today. I think your odor control may work unless this stuff gets worse later in the bloom. I had a little ten incher that just stunk to high heaven and you would not get away with that little fabreeze filter with her I can assure you so just be aware of the possible difference. Right about now is when I usually go off on the bagseeders for growing less than quality weed but I'll spare you since the La Confidential has redeemed you. Good luck Dude.

i got about 14gs off my first grow and flowered as soon as preflowers showed but i flowered outside,for a 1st time grower i would expect 5gs dry so everything more than that is a plus,better than expecting more and getting less
P.S my avatar was my first grow,it was the only pic i had in my comp.
