250w hps grow...

I'm just wondering what i should expect yield wise. Plant is about 7 weeks old, been in 12/12 for about 3 weeks under a 250w hps. some pretty regular potting soil, ph corrected water about 6.4-6.5. Plant is about 11 inches tall, and just recently transplanted to a 5 gallon bucket. I have a 26w 2700 cfl to supplement the hps, and i plan on getting two more 40 watt cfls to add. Any advice is appreciated.

top the plant (pinch out the newest green growth in the centre after parting full leaves)

this will cause 2 or more main colas to grow giving you better yeild (instead of growing to say 8ft the plant will distribute the growth amongst other branches). great for space limitation.

also ventilation, I killed 2 of my best after a heatwave made my cupboard 44c + with crap ventilation.

ventilation suggestion is good. the topping is bad. once you have flowered you shouldnt top, it will stunt the growth and actually decrease yield. as far as those cfls, just scrap them. they really aren't doing much at all conpared to that hps. without seeing the plant cant really say, but you can do an oz give or take depending on strain nutes and many other factors

Thanks for the comments. I'll add some extra ventilation. I transplanted on watering day, so after i transplanted, i gave her a nice healthy watering with a low amount of flowering nutes. This morning, i got a call from my girlfriends little brothers friend...telling me that he watered my plant because it looked dry. I told him not to touch my plant anymore needless to say. Hopefully she takes the extra water without any ill effects. I'll get some pics up here in a day or two.
