I don't know why I thought 55 watts.  That 125 watt florescent supplemented by four smaller bulbs will be enough to grow three autoflowers, but I doubt that you will get an ounce out of it.  Considering the risk, price, time taken, and quality of the product you are better off just buying weed.



Seriously, not even an ounce from 3 plants? That is very disheartening. Hope you're wrong, but if you're not I'll invest in a better bulb next time.

I'd use aluminum foil because it's more reflective then mylar and it's easier to work with IMHO

Growers generally shoot for .25-.3 grams per watt that they are running, but for florescents it will be way less while still taking longer.  I don't know the state of autoflower breeding but they have a low yield per plant because you can't really train them with pruning.  Weed growers do not generally talk about the yield "per plant" because the number of plants is not the limiting factor.  With some strains, you can get an few grams or many pounds out of a plant depending on conditions.  You would be better off acquiring some clones and strategically pruning and bending them to maximize your yield.  Autoflowers just kind of do their thing.
