88w of cfl could yield...?

Yeah, sure.

Depends? Light isn't just the result of having a good yield. What about soil? Is it even soil? Hydro?
88watts of what? CFL? LED? HPS?
What's your pH? 9.3?

A lot of people haven't grown with only 88watts. As light is one of the most important part of a plants life. If you search google. For like micro grows. Maybe someone has done a grow with equivalent or less watts and maybe got an ounce of plant.
Buy more lights. I'm starting a grow and one of my bulbs uses 105watts. Kinda just puts your 88watts to sh*t.

In theory, yes...

In your grow room, that's a lot harder. I'm assuming you've got a 23 and a 65? What spectrum (the K color, not the box's color.) With an array of bulbs coming in at around 88, it would be more attainable. Plants NEED light, and CFLs need to be CLOSE to those leaves...

45w & 43w 5500k. Using it as additional lighting for some gals on the peremeter until I weed out the males. I was jw'n how much it could increase the yield.
Ffof/coco/perlite/worm castings. About 35/35/20/10 ratio

Exact increase? Some... How much depends on a lot more.

Not nice to ask stoners trick questions.
This.

I don't think those two bulbs will increase your yield by an oz. For a start, they aren't the optimal spectrum for flowering.

It is possible, though, to pull off a dried oz with 80w of cfls - check out the microgrow journals on these forums. Some of the results are impressive.

^^ very true, I would be looking into making a micro grow.
The only way you can you will get a good yield with that little amount of light.
