Hi!
1st time grower here with no experience on yields.
These plants are in their 5th week of veg. Im planning to veg them up to 7 weeks.
Any idea as to how much i can yield on average off each plant?

Medium: 7gallon coco coir/perlite/vermiculite mix
Strain: Northern Lights/ Afghani
Lighting: 200w CFL + 150 actual watts LED
(Additional 360 actual watts LED full spectrum 120LED x 3w diodes for flowering)
Fertilizer: General Hydro Lucas formula with CalMag + foliar feeding
pH- 6.5
Temp: 70F
RH: 60% (will bring down to 40% on switch)
Grow space: (will be transfered to a 1.2x 1.2 grow area currently building the frame with PVC and covered with pandafilm walls)

Suppose everything goes without problems, can i expect a minimum of 100g/ plant?

If your a good grower with great air exchange and good lights( at least hps/mh) Then a gram per watt would be good.
With cfl and some low class LEDs if you pull off half a gram per watt on your first grow you should be happy.
Your doing the right thing with veg for some big plants but the truth is the lights you are using will not produce enough photons to light them up enough in flower to get the most off them, you may end up with some nice buds at the tops and tons of popcorn that takes ages to mature if it ever does. In a 1.2m2 area you want a 600hps at least to get the most from them. You need great air exchange to ensure they are not draining the co2 from the room or to make sure there is enough.
CFLs work best very close to the plant, the big bulbs can only be very close to a small portion of your grow space. I would consider throwing in a 400hps and using what extra lights you have now to supplement and probably flip them to flower now rather than the extra veg time. Save the long veg for when you know your lighting and air exchange is up to the task.
This is just opinion based on costs, there are better lighting options but costs may put you off.
Anyway, I thought I would offer a real answer to your question .

PS if a LED fixture is made from 120 x 3w diodes it wont be 360 actual watts, it will be run soft to prolong the diode life span and probably half that wattage, plug it into killawatt meter or what ever they are called to check it.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire.. I wish you luck with the grow!

Ill give my stock answer. As a new grower you will not reach any magic number. You should be focused on keeping plant alive for rest of veg and all through flower. Then your focus should be on drying and curing it without ruining it. Focus you first 2-3 grows on dialing in your grow style. Then once you get all that down you can start worrying about yields

If you use my theoretical theory equation (pound^ x lumens= pound)
You can pull off a pound no doubt brotha
