You are throwing light at the floor because you do not have the canopy to absorb it, so you would grow the plants canopy to match the light. You wouldn’t start your veg under 1000 Watts and if you did lights be super high and plants be in a corner. Because they can not ulize the light yet, don’t have the canopy to absorb it. So maybe you start off at 200 Watts and as the plant gives bigger you increase it. Till 4-5 weeks in veg your at around 600 Watts worth of plant, then you start to flower with 600 Watts in week 2-3. Last few weeks when she’s her biggest and can take the light switch to 1000 Watts.
Atm you canopy isn’t full, but if you cleaned up bottom, trellised it, had more plant or just canopy you can achieve 1.5-2lb a grow. I understand auto flower and all that. I like photo periods much more and you can learn much more from them. Because then you play with literally the same plant so you have something to gauge your self by.
Just make sure have the canopy filled to absorb it or wasting light and electric. Just my 2 cents. Looks good so far though. Of course also depends on the hood you have as well.
