"theoretical" CFL question friends

I'm using around 2 lights per plant to veg right now, each being 26w 1600L. I know to expect short plants, and not anything of superior and incredible quality, but is this possible? Doing the same thing when switched to flower except changing 2700k bulbs as well, would this be possible? I know i won't know until I try, and i'm not expecting much at all, but if I do my best with everything else and just try to reflect light and share it was well as possible could I get some quality bud? Maybe a nickel a plant?

Of course it is.

If I was you, dont try and expect more than 14G.... If I am being honest, you should aim for 14g (Half oz).

It depends on a a lot of other things, assuming everything else is spot on, you can get 14gram... I got 14gram using similar watts to you on my first grow and everything that was possible to go wrong, did.

This was on a 10 week autoflower.

half ounce a plant? that would be around what i'm anticipating, i'm just hoping the quality is to be better than what I can get locally (which is absolute shit). The lights are my only concern as to if i'm going to have a half ounce a plant of strechy, stringy, leafy gross bud or if its possible for me to pull some okay quality stuff. I decided to try CFL's for a fun little learning experience and to have a little personal stash to get me by a bit before next fall. The plants aren't autoflower, and even worse they're sativa dominant which makes the indoor AND cfl venture a bit harder.

consider topping and some LST-ing your plants to keep them short and somewhat even .
way ahead of you man! :bigjoint: i've been able to keep almost all of them between 11-16 inches with some incredible branching from topping and LST. In just a few days i'll be putting in their lights for flower, and i'll probably have 12-18 bulbs instead of 8, which is the number i used for vegging.
