an oz, no. Especially becuase it's your first grow. You'd get about 4 grams I'd guess. No joke. Get more. Also, lights arnt everything. Get some good nutrience from the nearest hydroponic store near you. Along with the nutes your going to need some soil that has good drainage. Genetics always helps too.

you should get another 3-4 cfls. the more you have the better your plants will grow. you might want to consider getting a 70-100w HPS instead ?

use as many bulbs as you possibly can. if you cant find a hydroponic's store to get some nute's visit your ace hardware for some blood meal or some worm casting's.

let us not forget the cylinder scrog from og ..guy used 2 23 watt cfls and got like 23+ grams. although he used two clones and knew what he was doing..go out and buy 2 42 watts to add to that and youll up ur yield .. possibly 1/2 an oz if you train and keep the bulbs 1 inch from your plant during the whole grow. add another 42 watt and close to an oz is possible..peace.

^-- to add to that, i recall another grow on og where somebody used 76 (or 78) watts and had gotten 33 grams off 2 plants.
mischievous - If you are hoping to get an oz, i recommend doing a scrog. Also remember to give your plant some decent veg time even if you are going to keep it small, more roots and foliage will give you bigger yields. When you start flowering prune off lower budsites so the plant will focus putting weight on the tops.
