12 inch sativa plant yield?

I have a 12 inch tall sativa. its been 5 weeks since pistils started showing, the first 2 weeks i didnt even have any cfls, just 50 watts of 7500k fluoros. after that i added a 12 watt cfl, then last week i just added an 18 watt. I think the plant is going to flower for 12 or more weeks in total is my guess. How much would a plant like this yield in dry weight? Oh, and this was just some bagseed. And no the leaves are not burnt from nute burn it was the light. Thanks for any answers. And also its 7 inches from bottom node to top of main cola. Since the nodes are so close should i be expecting one single big bud??? 14 nodes btw

I would check for root rot. I don't see any light burn looks like a little heavy on the nutes.

Theyre burnt from the lights i promise you. Almost every set of leaves has been burnt. And it doesnt have root rot. No nute burn. It may not look like it but it is all from the lights

Drooping likely from over or under-watering. I would guesstimate a 12-incher to cure around 12-15 grams. With low wattage you want to get them as close to the light as possible.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Thanks, and i just added 34 more watts of cfl. And im adding a 13 watt bulb tomorrow. How much would this increase my yields?

She's on the edge of nitrogen toxicity, go easy on the nutes if you're a bottle nute guy. High amounts of N present during flowering will extend your flowering time, lower your yield, and affect final flavor.
If you have a decent strain and you do everything perfect from here on out, you should get anywhere from 7 - 14 grams dried. How big is your soil mass?

More light, or closer to the light, will increase bud size and quality. It is a step in the right direction but hard to quantify.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Its in 1 gallon of soil if thats what you were asking, and i water every 2 or 3 days, basically when the soil dries out , i give nutrients every time I water. Its miracle grow. I would get better nutrients but i have 0 dollars lol. Should i not give it nutrients so often? Oh, and all the leaves that are curled down were because i had been underwatering my plant without realizing, and since its in flowering the leaves didnt repair themselves after i watered morw often.

Yup lol that's what I was asking. Sorry, the deeper I get into organics the more I stop using common terms. Oh I'm not criticizing your nutes (= I'd prefer everyone grow organically, but I'm not an elitist about it. It's definitely not cheap or easy to learn. I'd say go easy on them a bit. If you're already feeding every watering and their not burning I'd just drop it down by like an 8th of what you're feeding. So instead of a full dose, give them around 7/8ths of what you currently are. An excess amount of nitrogen can make or break the flavor in my opinion. And I say you're almost on the verge of nitrogen toxicity because of how dark they are. If you were over watering and they were that dark I wouldn't suggest it, but since you say you've been underwatering that leads me to believe it's an N buildup.
Also, light at the red end of the spectrum is best for flower. If you can manage to get some lights more towards that (2700k cfls work) you might see more resin production at harvest time and a better flowering time.

You have a long way to go..
But could easily get 1/2oz
Ive never had a (heavy) sativa give less than 3/4
