as a rule of thumb for calculating purposes I just say an oz a plant indoors and smoke the extra
though u should be able to get 1.5- 2 ozs I would imagine off each so long as they have adequate light

little small for being a month old, I assume that was from the time u started the seeds, normal growth is 12-16 inches a month or 2-4 inches a week, once they get going and rooted

the cfls u are stating are those there true watt output or their incandescent equivalant?

Because i would say your yield would be very decent with 550watts of true cfl watts but if its just the equivalant u gonna need to upgrade ur lighting for a decent yield...

and also as many threads say before u cant really calculate ur yield it depends on ur experience and skills

Good luck man

Ok thats all good...well the true wattage is normally stated on the box..100w incandescent is normally about 23watts true cfl wattage....so in ur case u prob have about 118 true cfl wattage which for your four plants will not be enuf depending how long u going to veg for.

If u get that 400W HPS ur yield will increase significantly

Since that is the equivalent wattage not the actual wattage yield will be low.You need to add way more cfls or get a hps to increase yield.
