4 ounces dry for 4 'big bud' plants easy to achieve?

using cfl's, 2 125 true watt 5600k for veg, and the same but 2700k for flowering. growing in soil. about 6 week veg time. maybe using nutes maybe not, but from what i have learnt in biology its pointless using nutes due to limiting factors, unless you are optimising everything else. what you think? ounce dry per plant? easy to achieve? xkiss-ass

i wouldn't say "easy" if you're using cfls. they require a bit more fussing to get the most out of them. you're on the right track with the 6 week veg, just remember that the bigger this plant gets the harder it will be to adequately light with cfls. you definately should think about adding some side or "from below" lighting to get the most out of all the extra budsites from the longer veg.

Unless you're using really good soil they won't make it through flower without nutes. Might get 4 ounce but they'll be shitty buds.

I managed on average 4 oz per plant but i used 1800w of HPS and supplemented with 4x 125w CFL. veg'd for 5 weeks... Full nutes and grown in Coco Pro

you'd have to have a killer organic soil to not use nutes. i hate to say it but your grasp of biology isn't as good as you think if you don't think you need nutes. if you were denied food for 16 weeks you'd die, same with plants. unless you're in soil that's packed with nutrients, you're going to need them or you'll be wasting your time because every time you water you send it's food out of the bottom of the pot.

with 250w for 4 plants, you'll be lucky to get an oz. per plant. the buds will probably airy and light. it is possible to get it with knowledge and some skill.
