With the limited amount of light you have in there i'd say you will get around 21 grams. bongsmilie
shit. I might just move it outside then. if 200w only yields 21g growing under lights seems pretty fucking stupid, youd need 2000w just to get a half decent yield! your power bill would make that worthless :/ this is bullshit

That's why I'm growing outdoors this year, till I get my own place and quality lighting.
ive got a good one if it wasnt tied down itd HAVE to be six foot and bushy in my backyard only problem is A - its droopy EVERY DAY until I water it I really don't get why its drinking so much lol and B it doesn't look....... right in places. some leaves edges are burnt like nute burn but all the top is pretty nice and lush, all new growth is beautiful is it normal for month old leaves to die off? I know I just completely 180ed on the subject lol but we both mentioned outdoors :D

big lights = big plants lol, the lights you are using are the bottom of the barrel, at least use t5 ho lamps and even at that a 4’ 8 bulb light is going to pull 432 watts at the wall at which point you could look at a 315 watt cmh. Many ways to grow on a budget and reduce cost and heat without resorting to shit t8 fluorescent.

I can Only afford to drop 50 or so dollars a fortnight those fluoro fitting are all I can afford, I really don't get how over 15000 lumens is supposed to be crap

Lumens are not the measurement of light you ever want to use in growing. I bought all my lights slightly used for next to nothing, just picked up two 315w cmh’s for 150 a piece on Craigslist slightly used. You don’t have to spend a fortune to grow quality flower with decent yields just shop around but don’t expect to throw 50 dollars in lighting in a room and get a great haul, it just dosent work like that.
