Northern Lights autoflower outdoor

I bought 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds from Vision seeds. My plan was to only grow 1 girl as this is my first ever grow so I only tried to germinate 2 seeds but after a couple days both seeds looked pretty dead so I put the third seed in some wet paper towel and after 2 days it had a nice tap root. I put the seed in a 5 gallon smart pot with some basic soil + perlite. This will be an outdoor grow but I started inside under 2 CFL bulbs I had laying around. Kept them on for 24 hours mostly and when it was sunny I put it outside but it became a little heat stressed so it didn't stay long in the sun. The plant isn't inside a grow tent, it just sits in my room with the two CFL's about 5cm (2 inch?) from the leaves. Very excited for my first grow, really like looking at it :) Any advice is welcome!
