How do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

Actuellement j'utilise 400w dans mon 1m². Vous pensez que c'est intéressant de passer mon ampoule en 600w ? Ou c'est trop pour 1m²? Je vais passer en floraison la semaine prochaine.

Leaves "praying" after lowering the lamp
I am in week 4th of flowering Laughing Buddha, 220W LED ~60cm from tops. Today I have lowered the lamp and the leaves started "praying", on one (higher) plant the other, mostly-indica Holy Punch seems unaffected. I am curious, is there too much light or sweet spot and it's good?

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?
What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

hlg550 distance from canopy veg
How far from canopy for HLG 550 during each stage? After starting with a cheap LED, without getting a par meter I think 18" @ 50% power, or 32" @ full power for veg? Start higher and increase power every few days?

Putting two lights in a 60x60 worth it?
fellow growers, I have at the moment 2 150w lights and i was wondering for flowering it would be any good to put the extra 150w light that I have (it is a 60x60 so small space to tuck in 2 lights but if it is really worth it i sure I'll find a way). let me know what you guys thin

Grow Light distance
Does it matter what heights I have my grow light at as long as my pfd is where I want it? For example could I have it closer and less power or do I want it further with more power. Feel like it would be better for the light the less power being used.

Do I need to lower my lights?
Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)
Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat? HLG 100RSpec:0 / XS1000: (on sale this weekend)

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.
Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated. Temps: 70-75 RH: 50-60 Soil Runoff: 6.5
