Yield From CFL Grows?

I know this is a REALLY subjective question. There's a lot of variables - lights - color - watts - strain - soil or hydro - time - etc etc etc..

But humor an old man.... if you wouldn't mind. :bigjoint: What kind of yield did you get?

Please give a brief description of the grow setup:
Total watts of CFL lighting
Color of the lights used for veg
Color of lights used for flowering
Strain if known
Time vegged
Time flowered
LST or SOG or other method besides just letting them run wild

Other info you might like to add is always appreciated. I'm quite baked at the moment, so I probably missed some important factor...... errrr - nutes? :confused:

Thanks much!!

EDIT:
If this has already been beat to death - then just throw an empty clay pot at my head and gimme a link so I can go read up on it.

your best bet is a scrog and big yeilding strain like big bud will help the best is to lean to the indica side as you dont get the high heat you normally would with mhd bulbs you may even have to add heat depending on your situation I get normally and 2 ounce per foot of screen dried with 3 150watt bulbs also make sure to get the right color of bulb for vegging and flower

Thanks for the link to your thread lince. I see no point in keeping this thread open. I'd rather see a single thread about yield and you already started one.

I'm not sure if it's possible - can the mods rig the software so that when somebody clicks this thread it takes them to linces thread automatically?

Or just dump this one?

Used about 110-150w of CFL through my entire grow. Veg'd for 3 weeks. Flowered for about 90-100 days or so. I got 1.5 ounces from one plant. The bud is real light and fluffy though. So from my experience you can still get a good yield, your buds just going to be airy and light. I used LST extensively to get 5 colas. Here was my girl.
