it looks nice for a cfl grow. You seem pretty hell bent on that oz. Just some advice, never count you chickens before they hatch! 99% of growers refuse to guess dry yield because you will "jinx it". But you do have some nice looking buds, they should fatten up nicely. As far as the smell when u touch them, im not sure what that is. If it is an issue i would flush with clearex 2 weeks before harvest. Or just do it anyway. It attaches to the salts, minerals, and nutrients left in you soil, and completely flushes them out. Then just use water afterwards. It will give you a better smoke all around in terms of taste and smoothness.

This may be irrelevent to this topic but i noticed you have no reflectors. I have no camera or id show a picture, but here is what i did with my cfl grow. I took half of the metal cage from a oscillating fan. I duct taped tin foil to the inside (dull side out). Then I ziptied my sockets to the fan. I have 3 sockets with splitters in there. So thats 5 2700k and 1 6500k. Its way ghetto, but it works awsome. Use it if u want, just thought i would throw it out there for ya. You wanna get the most light possible on your top cola, cuz thats where most of your weight comes from.
flushing washes out a lot of salts and other harmful chemicals we put into the dirt when we fertilize, just flush the dirt out with copious amounts of clean chlorine free water every couple months and during the last week or two of your flowering period and that should be all...

I can see you getting an ounce of this...but don't get your mind set on that because things can change. Looks good though.

You can, and I have gotten over an ounce off a plant with CFLs. Its all about giving as much light coverage as possible and doing everything else you can to increase your yield.
Presently I have a plant I expect to get 30+grams off dried. I still use CFLs but with the help of lsting my canopy is even and have great light coverage. I have cfls on the sides and under my canopy.
After awhile your cfls will increase the heat in your grow area so why not get an HPS if finances will allow. I see me upgrading next grow cycle.
Yeah, that was one thing I noticed. I'm too much of a newb to say much of anything from experience, but it looked to me like the fan leaf removal might have gone overboard. The buds will suck up the nutrients from fan leaves when you're in late flowering.
Then again, the stems and buds look pretty damn good to me, so... whatever works for ya!

Yea i guess i went a little overboard, the reason i did that is because i was hoping to get bettter light penetration, but i wont pinch any more off
