From the pic it looks like your smaller indica's lower canopy has some serious shading from the big fan leaves so might want to to some LST to bend in sideways into an L-shape and tie it to a stake making sure that it stays within the coverage footprint. This allows the lower shoots to receive direct light contact forming a row of colas. The two bigger ones really needs some LST to control it's height, open the inner canopy to expose to direct light coverage and also prevent it from shading your smaller indica after it finish stretching and complete it's secondary canopy development. I would also remove some of those big fan leaves on that big bush that's shading the inner shoots and nodes that will need as much direct light contact as possible to develop into it's maximum genetic potential, otherwise u're gonna end up with some junk airy cottonballs. From the looks of your girls I don't think you will have any problems hitting your yield expectation, but I think u might even be pleasantly surprise as long as u get them exposed to the light. I really don't like to estimate yield numbers since there's endless variance that could affect the final outcome. I noticed u have your CFL along the outer edges reflecting off your mylars which will further weaken your already weak source. A better approach would be to drop the CFL's from the top and strategically position them towards the outer edges but from inside the footprint so you can take advantage of the CFL's 360o light dispersion to radiate the inner canopy rather than relying on half of it's light being reflected of the walls. This will prevent lost of precious intensity and also enable u to control the exact height and position of coverage that u can use to spot boost the intensity in the lower shaded areas.
