You don't think 12 plants would yield 2lbs? (I'm seriously asking, I'm not exactly a seasoned gardener.) Even if they started flowering at 18in I would think certain strains would easily yield just over 2.5oz/plant. That's just speculation on my part, though, and not offered through experience.
I moved the grow into a cab today =) took about 5 hours to build but there is still some stuff to fix =) I'm a bit worried about the light intensity but I'll move the lights further down tomorrow.
well the plants don't fill the room. the room may be 8 by 4 but the plants take up maybe 75 percent of the floor space. The out side around the plants is emtey. There is a trail all around them space to move around. so I have 6 under each light. Now I may be lousing some light on the out side but it can't be that much? The plants are bushy once there full grown.... am I short plants? or am I just using floor space wrong. I mean I could take up 100percent of room and double my plants. In fact I was planning on 36 plants but costs were to high so I went with 12.. is this to few? I mean I guess I could clone more and put them in a month on one side and rest on other or something... fuck.. I need to have a very good grow this first time. I got tons of exp with hydro and large grows but never on a small scale like this never so few plants. It worries me expecting 2 ounces a plant. That worries me bad
I'd just like to thank for the good advice on wether to start flowering sooner or later, turned out that even though I flipped the lights almost right away, some individuals still got too high for their own good, getting some heat-stress and burns from the HID. Anyway, I thought I'd share a picture as a thanks.

Putting the specifics of why LEDs are shit aside, ask yourself this - why do commercial growers never use LED grow lights?
LED lights will probably never outperform even CFLs. People have been saying just give it a year or two for over a decade.
More colourful buds? I seriously doubt that. That pic you posted is just a photo of trichomes that contain anthocyanin which is present in some strains. It has nothing to do with LED lights though.
If you want to see some LED grow diaries here are some:
