4 weeks into flower, how much bud should there be

[TheGrassIsGreenerInAus]

hey guys I was just curious, ive got a plant that's about 4 weeks into flowering, its got basically three big branches, 2 running up along one standing 2 baton 36w fluoros and a couple 23w CFLs, about 4-6 inches at most away, and another branch has 2 batons all to its lonesome. whats confusing me is that the two branches sharing a light seem to be budding a lot more than the single one that has two lights all to its lonesome. the lights are standing to give you a visual, running up the walls of the tent, its only about 2 foot wide if that, but 4-5 foot tall so seemed far more logical to run the lights up the sides. But overall, the whole thing looks pretty small for being 4 weeks in and having a good 200w of light, its only 3 foot tall at most. Am I doing something wrong, or does it not really fatten until later on?

Don't expect much if all you using is a few CFL's. You're going to need some quality lighting to produce.

No Pics? I'll estimate a couple grams.

if youre only basing that on the fact I'm using CFLs, that's no help. I know people whove gotten pounds from CFLs, they are perfectly fine to grow with

ive gotten a few grams from far shittier grows than this lol you seriously telling me I didn't give you enough of a verbal description to get an idea of whats going on? the buds on it atm are like little clusters of white tentacles not negligently sized, they just look airy

You would do better growing under T5's. CFL's are some of the least efficient lights you could use.

so would I, if they weren't good mates I would've called bullshit. I'm not claiming, and nor were they that they got pounds of PRIME PRIME bud from it. But taking into account how much cheaper it was to assemble, how much cooler CFLS run compared to HPS so you can have far less noisy extraction goin on, and how much cheaper they run, pounds of ok bud seems like a pretty viable option I cant afford anything dearer than CFLs it took me months to get the 200ws of them I have now

I'm using CFL as a broad term for fluorescents lol. I don't know what the batons are, MAYBE t8?

I always thought that's what CFL was - any compact fluorescent light lol

Months to acquire a couple of CFL's? I know homeless people that can do better than that. You asking for help Lets See Some Pictures of the problem you having.

MAYBE t8's I'll change my guess to maybe 10 grams. Without pics

If it makes any difference that's 4 weeks from bout a week after I changed the lights first pistils took bout another week

With the limited amount of light you have in there i'd say you will get around 21 grams.

21 grams total...not 21 grams top shelf buds....not a lb....but still a nice little haul given the grow setup.
