Autos if you've never grown anything can be hard if you dont have good watering practices. Overwatering a auto is detrimental will stunt and practically ruin the grow. Photos allow you to veg while you figure all that out watering, nutrients, let's you get to know the plants one on one until you're confident and can take a healthy plant into flower.
I use a agrobrite 8 tube t5 with eye hortilux power veg bulbs in a 3x3 to veg Florescent is only good 12 inches away from light any growth further than that wont receive adequate light and will usually die leaves not main stalk and stems. Yours may be less since its fewer watts, incorrect nanometers and no high output full spectrum uv. Also bud quality lacked. I'd have to grow a really good size plant to get anything. But they veg good if you use them right. Fluorescents can hover over plants doing all but touching, bulbs will burn plants if they set on them for too long I've had a many have over night growth spurts
