Dont Troll or say something stupid. Its just a question . Ive seen a friend grow with one 13w cfl and his plant went through the veg stage with it. Came out looking real good. But i dont think it has a 100% possibility

So 150 watt for 2 plants? Average yield?

Depends on a lot of factors, like how long you let them veg, type of lighting, etc.

For Veg, CFL's are good. Use a 3:1 mix of "Daylight" to "Warm" (6500k,3000K).
CFL's for Flower, not so good, the buds will lack density. I reccommend HPS for flowering.

A small plant done with CFL's....1oz/plant....maybe.

Have fun.

Your saying about an oz of fluffies per small plant with 150watt of cfl light?? how small is small to you a foot or more or??
And does this mean more wattage more yield?? So of I put in 200 watts will I get more then if I had only 100 watt

If you want more bud veg for a longer time till you reach 50% of your height if train your plant with LST plus topping you will get more out of it if you put the time in longer veg = more roots = more buds

More lights - more watts - more bud

If your only using cfl make sure you keep them nice and close

If you have the money get your self a 600hps and let the party begin

the only cfls id use are the 250 watt ones there very good for veg ..but not so good for flowering......if your using small cfl 20 watt or so....there know good for nothing....there made to hang in your living room....that's all...get a 250 watt hps and you will get decent plants with decent yields...just my thought..

I gotta jump in here ...

It's about lumens, not watts.

Yield per plant has so many variables, I wouldn't dare give an estimate with what little info has been provided here.

As a rule, the more lumens you have, the better your crop will be. But, you can have too much light which can damage your plants, cause ladies to turn hermaphrodite on you, and all sorts of other problems.

I've grown a plant using a 100watt standard light bulb, veg through flower, and managed to produce a bit of weed that did the trick. But that was 100 years ago. Today, we have so many options and products from which to choose, it doesn't make sense to waste time, money, and energy on anything less than "decent lighting".

Take a look at this link for some great newbie lighting advice: http://www.growweedeasy.com/grow-lights It's written by "Nebula Haze" (username) who always has good advice, imo. He doesn't just tell you what to do; he explains the reasons for doing it, etc.

Go forth and learn! Then enjoy the fruits of your success!

If you trim the two larger leaves, you'll help boost the root growth before transplanting. You just snip off about 1/4 of each leaf, from the tip. It may look funny to you and feel strange doing it, but it will work wonders. You may be transplanting a bit early, imo. I personally like to wait until the main stalk is more stable / mature. Then I don't re-pot again until it's time to move to the bloom room. In other words, I only re-pot two times, total, for each grow.
