Hey guys was wondering if you can advise me on this lighting system.

Dont got no fancy system available where I live in the tropics.

32 w LED (100 W equivalent 6500K)
15w LED (100 W equivalent 6500K)
55W cfl (500K)
10W LED (65W equivalent 2700K)

I'm using these over 3 plants 2 ak48 autoflower and 1 madman og bag seed. They've been through quite alot including nutrient def then burn I really wanna get the lighting right cuz I'm gonna hit them 24/0 and see if they recover.

It will grow but no huge yield, forget the equivalent they are comparing it with hot wire bulbs that are not effective, so 112w. I have no clue of how many gram per watt this can do. to put the power on your side, carefully remove the transparent cover on the LED lights, they disperse the light in a bad way for growing. there are youtubes video for that and ill attach a picture, its easyer when the bulb is hot.
The light could be closer too.
I heard autos use less nutrient but never grew any.

You could do a decent veg cycle and maybe pull a few grams of fluffy bud at the end. Ideally you would like to have 40-50 (actual) watts per square foot.
Any time you see "___ watt equivalent" remember it's a marketing trick to sell a weak light.
Often with Chinese LEDs that claim they're 500 watts because they put 100 x 5w diodes. Then the driver pushes them at 40% and you actually have a 200 watt light, etc.
