600watts puts out a insane amount of heat you better have really good cooling equipment as well.

the soil should be fine with about a half cup of bonemeal added to it and you have plenty of hieght

You should start at least 2 plants at a time to give yourself a better chance at getting a female. Also, if you're just growing one plant, read up on low-stress training (LST) Heres a good example, topping, or screen of green to increase your yield off a single plant. Here's a good pic of what you can do with a screen of green on 3 plants (stolen from Jamstigator )
