    Not very much at all. Especially with just the single flowering bulb.

    Without any information it is impossible to say but i would personally be saying yes, much less than an ounce. You want 2700k not 6500k bulbs for flowering to start with. So in essence one of your bulbs isn't really being too useful.

    I just threw some random numbers at my calculator and given what you'll likely yield you're pretty much going to be spending almost the same money as if you'd just brought the weed off the street without factoring in labour and the cost of equiptment and supplies. As i say, i can't give you an exact number but you will be yielding next to nothing, certainly not enough to warrant 2-3 months of your time and attention.

    I feel you bro wat if i changed the 55wat bulb into a flowing bulb would that be a big change? I at least want a oz from all this but even another flowing bulb wouldn't do that huh

    Don't take my word for anything, i've only flowered with HID. But from everything i've read you want red spectrum for flowering, not blue.

    I would almost put money down on it and say you will NOT get an ounce, let alone more than an ounce. I think that the 1/4 oz estimate is in no way unrealistic.Remember, with CFL's,just because a bud looks fat, it's CFLs, it is typically going to be airy and fluffy and weigh next to nothing. If people could get an ounce off a 45w cfl and a55w blue cfl, we wouldn't be running around with expensive hps and ballasts, we'd just grab a bag of 50 cent bulbs from walmart or such.
