Nice she's looking great. Almost time to upgrade to a new pot, too.
I imagine you got 5500k+ cfl's for veg?

Yeah, it's the color temperature of the bulb. Measured in kelvins. 5000k+ is blue light spectrum, primarily used for vegging. 2700k is the red light spectrum, primarily used for flowering. CFL's will usually have it labelled directly on the bulb base in tiny print somewhere along with the wattage.
I've been mixing CFL color types. But I have an accent on 5500k CFLs during vegging. And I will accent the 2700k CFLs during flowering. Good benefits this way.

Well if you don't really care about the number specifics, you can always just ballpark what the light is by looking at the color yourself.

Does it look more red or blue?
Edit: I'm only suggesting this because your bulbs don't have the color temp labeled. Which will happen sometimes.

What kind of soil are you using? She looks real healthy right now. I wouldn't worry too much about the brown spots. My plant got them, but it was really stressed out for specific reasons. Doesn't look like you have anything to worry about. Just make sure you don't over water. If you stick your fingers down a few inches and feel moisture, don't water yet.
thanks for the input
my soil is
50% compost,
20% soil,
10% worm casting,
10% perlite and 10% vermiculite.
the browning is only on the tip of the leave, i just wanted to make sure its nothing major so i could act on it before it does become major.
BTW i have a moisture meter but i dont think its working right, its always pointing tro dry to medium wet even when i place it in water

It's a little early for nutes, IMO. Possible nutrient burn... it doesn't look major though. Just use your fingers for moisture and make sure you (gently) go deep enough. If it feels dry that far down give it some water.
