Does this seem like a reasonable height for these tiny flowering autos ?

Got a new 480 watt finally upgraded from.100watt and 180cfl ...

These autos were started under those specs and inside a 175l tote ... So they are small

Besides that this month I don't have the funds to be running at 300-480 watts .for the next month think the auto on the left doesn't want to flower the other two are two weeks ahead on that ......

So I think il running at about 250 watts not entirely sure as the wattage Guage has no markings . I don't see hanging at 24" full capacity

So I'm hanging about 12" with a rough estimate of 50000k lux which is the best i can run this month until next.

Does this height and everything else seem sufficient to finish these off or accelerate buds until next month I can run at 300-480

This is inside 4x4

What time cycle are you running on the lights?

If you are measuring intensity at 50000lux at the height of the plant canopy, then that'll do alright. You can up it to about 55000lux, but beyond that you're getting diminishing returns, unless you supplement CO2.

I disagree, 50000lux of led for 18hours is likely to freak you plants out. They really need a very much little by little, pull that light back to +24" and lower until you see first signs of unhappy plant. Especially if your in soil of coco, you'll need to have a hydro solution for calcium and Magnesium if you push them so hard.
50000 would be alright for a plant which is in full flower, for 12/12. 18hrs is 50% more light.

I've never done autos before, so I'm inexperienced there. I run my photos in veg on 24/0 at around 35000lix to 45000lux on assumed 3500k 80cri LEDs. In flower I have them in the 55000lux to 60000lux range on 12/12.
 
As long as your plants can handle it you should be good but very carefull with led intensity especially with autos which don't have the time to recover due to finishing being preset.
