Nice! If you start noticing any yellowing lower the potency or pull it higher, seedlings dont need a lot of light and your previous bulbs were not enough but this is more than x10 times the potency they had before.

I bet the PPFD map is the same, this is the models I have in the small indoors, pretty much the same as you can see just different brand

Oh, not much less though, still more than enough for tight nugs. Mine are 130W but I thought you said 120W because you were discounting 10W or so from the fan.

Makes sense that you have slightly less umols if its slightly less wattage. The fan cant be more than 5W, it doesnt have many rpm so its technically a 115W panel, and mine a 125W one. Pretty sure the LED diodes are the same, I just got a few more.

Also these brands lie a lot, they advertise it as a 1200W HPS equivalent which is not even remotely close, so maybe they lied in my PPFD chart too. The little extra wattage plus inflating performance like these brands do might explain the difference.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if it wasn't 120 watts but it looks full spectrum and so far my plant is reacting well

When it's time for them to flower I just change the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12 right?
