For that your going to want to veg for 3-4 weeks then flower. But your going to need to do it every week or so with a new plant so two grow rooms will help if its indoors. And probably a lot of seeds.

I agree. A 1/4 pound a month can be done but that would depend on your setup and method of growing. Scrog, s.o.g, perpetual.

Yeah I'm ganna go from clones also I will be harvesting monthly or bimonthly not weekly but deff second room would help to veg then flower instead of vegging and flowering in the same space and run very hot

Well that said nothing. Without knowing the kind of lighting you plan to use, no one can answer your question.

yeah sorry I was half asleep replying this morning. I am using cfl I have 6 right now 23w 1600 lumes each but I plan on switching to small hps instead cuz if I continue. To use cfl I'm Hanna need 17 all together I mean they are cheap and cool but I don't want to run into electrical issues old house... But I mean if I get enough serge protection and I need to get a fan desperately I might have to spring the 30 bucks for one at gyo cuz it's so hard to find one this time of year and if I order online I'll end up spending the same on s&h so also as for my medium right now I just am using 40lb of top soil with 8 qt of. Miracle gro moisture control to keep it airy and not as tight and dense then 8qt of Miracle grow veggie garden soil once again to keep the top soil light well adding an even Neud spectrum and I figured if u can eat it u can prolly smoke it and as for neuds idk yet I was using standered /5/5/5 plant food with trace minerals but it seemed to burn it alittle so a lil more reading on neuds I know right now I desperately need a fan and nitrogen.. as for the fan I said that above and the nueds expecaly the nitrogen I might have to go to gyo for that as well but I know I can get it cheaper just not sure where to look or what exactly I need need
more liT as well any suggestions on and reading I should do aka onlinebooks ect.

Oh one more thing it's my first grow so I expect to get poor to mid quality bud but I hope to learn as I go I'm pretty good at horticulture but first go at cannabis

Split everything into stages a month apart- so you'll need several stages in veg and at least two in bloom.
Get control of your environment; good weed only grows in good conditions of seventies air temp, RH below 65%- but not too far below, consistent water quality and just enough nutes- more is definitely not better.
Work the basics and the plant will reward you.
Good luck!

And I'm going to Fim and let grow with no tie downs or sog ect and let the colas reach 2-3 feet before sending to flower

Ok so basically once a month say the second start a set of clones up and every 3-4 weeks send to flower

Your lights should be fine. 6x 1600 is 9600 lumens. On a good sunny day the sun produces about 10,000 so your pretty close to that. You can grow about 2-4 plants under that lighting side by side. You should invest in about 6-8 2700k CFLs. which brings me to a question, what spectrums are the CFLs you have? You want 5300k or higher for veg. 3000k or lower for flower. You can get quadconnectors for CFL bulbs, B22 or edison screw. 4x 23watt is 92, which would not cause much load on power so electricity worries, such as fire hazards shouldnt arise. Aslong as the quadconnector is plugged into a seperate outlet. Or a 4 plug or 6 plug with surge protection. which are cheap as shit i might add.
Heres pics and link on amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HZV2938/ref=pd_aw_sims_10?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd=1#
On that link i provided it also has a pack with B22 to Edison screw adapters if your CFLs are screw ins. And also double adapters so you can have 2 bulbs on each fitting. Giving you 8 bulbs all up on one quadconnector.
8x 23 is 184watts, some MH and HPS lights are well over that. You should be fine even in a older house. If you have fans even better. It seems like a lot of mucking around, but if you invest in some decent light-ware, you will produce good bud.
Iv added up all the prices for you.
X2 Timers: $24
X2 QuadConnectors: $19
Surge protection 4 outlet: $7.99
$50.99 All up for thoughs products. And you will be set.
I havent included light prices because they vary depending on where your located and where you get them from, But CFLs are cheaps as shit anyway.
Hope i helped.
note: I am growing with only 2 18watts 6500k CFL bulbs and this is my girl, she had a issue with pot falling over and damaged leaves so i cut some off she grows well though.

"On a good sunny day the sun produces 10,000 lumens". You must live on another planet... the sun in "our solar system produces...6840000000000000000000000000 lumens. Just a slight correction...carry on

Yeah as of right now I have one for each plant and timer I'm ganna hold off till after the first to grab my second timer cuz they have a really nice up to 4 times for xmas displays at the walgreens so I figure the day after I'll get it for 50% off or somethingYour lights should be fine. 6x 1600 is 9600 lumens.
