K the plant is 1 month 2 weeks from seed...if it went in to flowering now...under 4 20w fluro tubs and 3 60w cfls how much do u think it would yeild???
Did you start it from clone? If not keep your fingers crossed that it won't be a male.

These questions about yield are kind of stupid. All you get is a bunch of GUESSES from people who think they know it all.

Yield depends on strain, nutrients, medium, light source, temperature, initial size of vegged growth, method of growing (ebb&flow, drip, aero, etc.), and techniques (lst, sog, scrog, supercropping, etc.)

I don't want to rain on your parade. Just warning you that there are lots of people on here who don't know shit about shit but they think they do. With that said I have come across a hand full of growers on here who are very knowledgeable.

It’s a seed I can tell from how its growing. And not that much my friend probably less than an 1 oz…. bummer I know, but as true as its going to get good luck.

You're using 260 watts on fluoros. You're wasting your time. Get a 250HPS with a digital ballast. Less power draw and twice the light.

i got a 250 watt mh which if you can afford to get two different lights is the way to go. In a couple of weeks i will move my plant out of my grow area under the 250 watt mh into my refridgerator with the 400 watt hps...great veg state with the mh lots of folliage. and amazing bud sites with the hps, thick dense buds.....best of both worlds is amazing...

It's better to go with HPS for veg and flower. MH for veg and HPS for flower is a myth. You won't get better yields

but isnt it true the blue spectrum promotes better foliage? therefore wouldn't that mean more branches, more branches means more bud sites....doesnt that mean better yields?

I've found that more light overall gives the best yield. You get more light per watt out of HPS than MH

I used to ague with people that MH was best for veg and HPS for flower. That's how I grew for a long time because that's what I read was best in High Times and that's what the light bulb companies said was best.

It wasn't until I was schooled by some really experienced growers and switched to all HPS that I realized that I was getting close to the same or higher yields using all HPS.

Now I use T5's for cuttings then straight to the HPS. There is some good info on lights here https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/723-things-know-about-lighting.html
I've found the first posting on that link to a good reference. It's pretty accurate.
