Default T-5 / CFL grow. Expected yield?

For more detailed info you can check out the grow journal in my signature but basically it goes like this. We vegged our plant under CFL's for about 2 months and now we have her flowering under 1 4' 4 bulb T-5 and she has 6 cfl's on the sides for side lighting. This pic is week one of flower, Any guesses at how much she will yield? btw it's Kali Mist, a pretty strong sativa strain. So i am guessing she will be exploding in size now.

one oz maybe 2 if you used hps, due to the size of the plant, why dont you get a 250 hps, you can grow 2 to 4 plants under that, and use your flos for vegg, so you have more harveste, start 1 plant every 2 to 3 weeks, so you get the same harvest.
i say if your going to do it, get somthing out of it.
do you know the sex of the plant?
it would be a rite waste if it was male.

you have enuf lites, but it seems a waste, using all that power for one plant.
get a hps and an old closet to put the lite in, and you cud grow 4 plants in it, and like i said, you cud use all them lite for vegg or a mother.

I appreciate how adamant you are about hps systems but that isn't really an option for us on this grow. I am trying to see what we can get with this T-5 set up and some side cfls. I hope atleast an oz dried but this is my first grow and I really don't know what to expect. We currently have almost 30,000 lumens on that one plant and we are about to move 2-4 clones up there as well. They are in a bubble ponic system that we made with ideas from the DIY section.

fair enough,but really you should grow more than one plant to get a much better chance getting a female!unless thats a clone from a female plant?if it turns male you will have wasted a few months!hope it is female tho!

if there is more than 1 of you growing and only 1 plant that cud be male, whats an exp. with just 1 plant and all them lites, just looks like a waste of ele and time. esp. if the plant is male. but do what ever you want, i dont care what you grow or what lite you use.
i only suggested to you, to use a hps, cos you asked, and i was just trying to help you.
i think you may get an ounce,maybe,if it a female, then youll have to start all over again.
good luck, keep us posted.

The plant is a female. So are the 4 clones that came from her.
