Another grower just told me the same thing so I backed the light way down. In hindsight I guess I should have taken the increase in wattage and started low and slow. Don’t have a PAR meter yet. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!What’s your PAR? Without knowing your light’s intensity your shooting in the dark.
Suggestion, start your light’s intensity way low 25% max, then observe your plant’s reaction.
I made many mistakes when I started indoors, first using a LUX meter to get a handle on my light’s intensity was a weak way to get an idea, which I do not embrace. Finally bought a PAR meter (what a revelation) now I no longer worry bout burning my plants. It takes the mystery out of a major aspect of indoor productive growing
Here’s the PAR rating that they sent.What’s your PAR? Without knowing your light’s intensity your shooting in the dark.

Test it for yourself, seeing is believing. Alot of these companies bs their ppfd maps to make em look betterHere’s the PAR rating that they sent.
PAR is important, but just dim it down. The plants are your PAR meter, when you're trying to determine what is too bright for them.Another grower just told me the same thing so I backed the light way down.

Well my PAR meter showed up today. Right now it’s showing in the upper 200s in the center down at plant height for the clones and mid 300s further up on the taller plants. What ranges should I be looking for?What’s your PAR? Without knowing your light’s intensity your shooting in the dark.

Sorry new I have the photone app it does lux and par how reliable is that do u know and also I have a Google pixel 6pro so my camera is really good and what lux parameters are best in what stages I've looked it up but can't find a real good answerWell my PAR meter showed up today.

Keep it at that for afew days. Once they adjust then dial it up a touch. I think about 4-500 should be the top end in veg unless you have all the parameters spot on and can work the vpd, some people can push them even more with additional co2 levels. But as you are and while you get used to the light stick to slightly under than bordering on over. You might even find 2-300 is fine till they grow some size. Some of those led lights are very powerful and sounds like you have a very strong light.Well my PAR meter showed up today.
