stealth cab lighting question with aerogarden

ive decided to dump the aerogarden lights but keep the base. will a 200w cfl plus 2 27w cfl have enough light to yield 1-2oz per plant (assuming nuts and venting are good)? was thinking about doing easy ryder auto seeds. one plant at a time (maybe two)

TW21: you wouldn't be the first to do that, but most those I've known who did it weren't too successful and that led to a lot of people unfairly bad mouthing A/G's. Before you start re-engineering your A/G, please consider that it's pretty well balanced as it comes out of the box. It wasn't designed to grow M/J but we all know you can do it. Your A/G lighting was designed to illuminate what comes out of a hydro reservoir that only holds 112 ounces. You have seven holes but frequently they only plant five seed pods and recommend plugging the rest. For M/J my experience will tell you that the A/G gives you a practical capacity limit of two to three 'small' plants. If you really think you'll get an ounce or an ounce and a half from each plant, good luck. Any more than two to three small M/J plants is asking for overcrowding problems. Please don't get me wrong, I love my A/G's, all three of them, but it sounds like your expectations have already out grown your A/G from the get go. You might want read all the materials that came with your unit and think about starting your seeds in your A/G and verging and flowering them in individual 2 gallon DWC bubble pots under some other lighting. Just a thought. HSA
