I have a cupboard with 96 actual cfl watts at the moment will that be enough to veg for a while, until I can afford more, my plan is to double it so it will be 192 actual cfl watts would that be enough to finish off a plant threw flower and all?

You want to keep you plant low with cfls.if you go 1.5 or 2ft before 12/12 its guna grow to tall.and remember keep every cfl within 3inches from plant

2 foot is too tall when growing with cfl? Even with side lighting??
If I veg till say 1 foot what kind of yield could I expect

I'm just curious here, but what did you use before to grow if not with cfl's? I don't have too much experience, but this grow I had one plant almost tripled in size because of stretching and the rest doubled or really close to it. Maybe with cfl's it doesn't, I have never flowered with them.

I always thought the stretching occured during the dark period of 12 / 12. This led me to think any lighting you'll still get stretch during flowering.
Any thoughts on that? thanks
