ok since no1 here is willing to be your friend and be real with you, I will take on that responsibility..
4 25watt CFLs, once flowering, will not yield shit. Im talking ONE oz dried, best case scenario.
play your chips while your ahead in the game and upgrade those lights while you have healthy, unflowering plants, or else this will just be a learning experience, not a harvest.
if this is a tiny little closet grow for stealth, i would get T-5s or T-8s or at least way more blue / orange color CFLs.

i appreciate your advice, but this grow is a learning experience, and im not expecting much more than 3/4 - 1 ounce. At the moment I cant afford to tack on any extra wattage because i have an iguana whose heaters and lights use about 300+ watts all day. and i care more about his health that i do growing marijuana.
now that you mention it, expecting an ounce is a compliment to my plant. i only vegged for a month and if all goes well i should have some decent reg grade bud. thanks for the comments!
EDIT: oh and im using 5 26 watt cfls all at about 3 inches from the tops. cheers.

He ain't lying....I once grew a plant in a 50 gallon trashcan with one 25w cfl at the top. It was a full on little mini-hydro ebb & flow. It was only done to see how "micro" growing was....lame.
I got a 1/4 oz of pretty good grade bud, but what a waste of time....haha. It was super stealth chillin in the garage though.

a grow with 25 watts would be a waste of time. im surprised you got a quad. but as long as you got high off it then who cares, its your home grown bud. ive got 5 times the amount of light that you got a quad from so hopefully i get an ounce or so.

Oh yeah man, for sure. I think you'll get at least a zip out of it. You aren't able to upgrade to a little higher wattage bulb?

money is tight, thats kinda why im growing in the first place. i may be able to add one more 26 watt bulb lower on the kelvin scale but that'd be about it. im gonna update this until harvest so we'll seeeeee.....

Over 2 weeks in now and I am seeing some great results. It doesnt smell super strong yet, but when that closet door opens it smells like gods vagina.

Day 26 of flowering. The buds and surrounding leaves are starting to get pretty frosty. I decided to cut off the smaller bud sites towards the bottom that would eventually turn into small weightless buds, and I vaporized them to get a sample. It was a mix of that trippy indica high where you hear shit that sounds crazy, but it also had my heart racing and i kept walking around the house haha. I was ripped off only a tiny fraction of whats to come. IM EXCITED!
i also added some cut up emergency blankets to the surrounding walls which practically cut the square footage of the closet in half. I saw huge sperts of growth over the few days after adding it.
