I have the same light. About 30" to deliver 400 ppfd. After the second week, you can go down to about 24" to deliver 600 ppfd. 20-22" during transition to flower, then 18" during flower to deliver 900 ppfd. If you're ever unsure, find the light on Amazon, there's a ppfd map on there. Placement of your plants in relation to the center of the matters. Look up the map and you'll see what I mean, they look like a grid with numbers inside. If you use CO2, you can go up higher on the ppfd and put the light a little closer.

Looks too close as it's praying already. I use a 100w and a 150w invisible sun boards and put them on full power with a popped seed in soil at 24 inches and it keeps them short and stocky. Each LED is gonna perform differently, just gotta find the sweet spot for your light. I've never relied on numbers or apps, just judge with your own eye and learn from mistakes, you gotta be able to read the plants.

About 2 foot or 24 inches or 50 to 60 mm. On 100 percent. A plant can take up to 2000 ppfd mainly stay between 1100 to 1800 ppfd through my grow space. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊
