For more detailed info you can check out the grow journal in my signature but basically it goes like this. We vegged our plant under CFL's for about 2 months and now we have her flowering under 1 4' 4 bulb T-5 and she has 6 cfl's on the sides for side lighting. This pic is week one of flower, Any guesses at how much she will yield? btw it's Kali Mist, a pretty strong sativa strain. So i am guessing she will be exploding in size now.

one oz maybe 2 if you used hps, due to the size of the plant, why dont you get a 250 hps, you can grow 2 to 4 plants under that, and use your flos for vegg, so you have more harveste, start 1 plant every 2 to 3 weeks, so you get the same harvest.
i say if your going to do it, get somthing out of it.
do you know the sex of the plant?
it would be a rite waste if it was male.

you have enuf lites, but it seems a waste, using all that power for one plant.
get a hps and an old closet to put the lite in, and you cud grow 4 plants in it, and like i said, you cud use all them lite for vegg or a mother.

I appreciate how adamant you are about hps systems but that isn't really an option for us on this grow. I am trying to see what we can get with this T-5 set up and some side cfls. I hope atleast an oz dried but this is my first grow and I really don't know what to expect. We currently have almost 30,000 lumens on that one plant and we are about to move 2-4 clones up there as well. They are in a bubble ponic system that we made with ideas from the DIY section.

fair enough,but really you should grow more than one plant to get a much better chance getting a female!unless thats a clone from a female plant?if it turns male you will have wasted a few months!hope it is female tho!

if there is more than 1 of you growing and only 1 plant that cud be male, whats an exp. with just 1 plant and all them lites, just looks like a waste of ele and time. esp. if the plant is male. but do what ever you want, i dont care what you grow or what lite you use.
i only suggested to you, to use a hps, cos you asked, and i was just trying to help you.
i think you may get an ounce,maybe,if it a female, then youll have to start all over again.
good luck, keep us posted.
