The pound thing is a joke on every grow forum. Newcomers always ask what they will yield 2 weeks into their grow when really theres no way of telling that early on. So we just fuck with them and tell them a pound haha
What's your setup? Lights, tent, soil, nutes. Fill us in!

You're gonna need a fuck ton more light than that buddy. Get yourself at least a little 150w hps. That should cover one or two plants. You can find one for about 60 dollars on Amazon. Look for sun system 150w hps or some shit like that.
It got me through my first grow. I yielded about 2oz with two plants.
If you don't want to go the HPS route and want to do CFL I would still aim for about 5000 lumens per square foot.
With the amount of light you have now you'll be lucky to get 5 grams of the fluffiest worst weed you'll ever smoke.

@miketaco found a 600w MH/CMH system for $90 on eBay. See this post.
Replace the bulb with a CMH All-Start bulb and you'll have a very decent light. Using SunSystem's CMH you can flower at 35w/sq ft. I'm not sure the All-Start works as well. But, it shouldn't be too different. Even at 40-45w/sq ft you'll be in a reasonable range of efficiency (heat/light).

Put as much light in that box so long as you can while keeping temperatures down. I would just try to do 1 plant from start to finish with your setup as 6 plants would require a LOT more light. Get an extracting fan to move that hot air out, as those little usb fans are just pushing hot air around.
If stealth is of any importance to you I would also get a carbon filter with that extractor fan. These ladies will reek and your whole home will stink if you're doing it right. Having a house that reeks of weed is an excellent way to have cops knocking at your door.
