Some help with my auto micro

Hey so I'm really new to all of this auto growing weed. So along side a few of my other autos I put in this small pot to see what would happen

I'm using 2 cfl in a grow tent 60*60*160 I think the cfls are
1*450w dual spec
1*450w red spec
Both are under reflectors taking up the withof the tent
1*tornado Phillips 280w
1*60w led (crap)
Lights are on 20/4
Small fan in tent
In with another 4 autos

Nutes used are biobizz bloom and a few small extras like calmag etc
The medium is coco
Perlite mixed through

So basically I can't really remember what seed I used I think it was a gorilla glue or else a northern lights

I can't remember when I planted the seed but it was roughly around 2 months ago the seeds came from a friend who got them from a pack online

So its just been getting feed everyday and flowering I let her get to close to the light and the top got burned a bit what happens to this bit ?? And how long do you guys think is left to go on her she doesn't smell to much still has a bunch of new hairs coming everyday so should I expect it to get any bigger or anything or is this it at its full potential. Well based on what I have gave it

Does it look healthy?

Is it OK for a first grow?

Is it okay for cfl lighting

Full potential was limited by small container(2 gal would be lowest id go for coco unless you water multiple times daily), cfl lights even with that much and no training. If it smokes it was a success though.

Agreed. If you intend on growing long term, invest in better lights and as large of a container as your grow space will permit. Like Matty said, for this plant to bring you even a small to medium harvest is a success, I'm kind of surprised it's as big as it is. I do see some slight discoloration on the leaves, is that what you're concerned about? Or is it something else? Would it be possible for you to get a couple pics from different angles/sides of the plants? For the price you'd pay for the cfl's you have, you could get a decent little cheap-made LED that would emit less heat and probably more usable light. Might be worth considering if your grow is too small for an LEC or metal halide/HPS setup. Also make sure you've plenty of airflow since that is a small space. :)
*EDIT* Forgot to add, yes I do think it's worth growing, and seems plenty healthy enough to cross the finish line as long as it doesn't start getting more discolored leaves, although this will somtimes happen close to harvest. Yes, I do think you've grown a nice plant for it to have purely been done under CFL. I'd really like to see what you could produce with a real deal LED or LEC/CMH light, but I know not everyone is able to make these investments.

Thank you very much guys for the info and tbh the CFLs didn't really cost me much got 2 of them giving to me from a friend who uograded. And I just want to have a decent wee smokeable plant. Everything is all new so each day is new lol and yea man I'd need to save for a led I'd rather save for a top range led and do a jump from cfl to top range led I'm sure it would blow my mind quality wise .
For this plant it is just the one I have growing along side along side a few bigger ones I just wanted to try and see what would happen which such a small plant, because it would be cool to have loads of these small ones planted at different times and different strains so you always had a harvest every few weeks

Anyway there is some more pics
