What would you say about my lighting based off the leaves of this auto? Too bright, too weak, or just fine?

My plant sprouted 5 days ago, because of temps last night I left the light on and will for the next few days to maintain temp. Its an autoflower but I like having a dark period for my autos. Will it hurt anything if I go back to 20/4 or should I let it ride?

Should I dim my TS1000? Ts1000
When using two lights in a small space should I be worried about to much light? The plant is mature and is about to transition to flower, I’m just curious what is too much if any. The TS 1000 is dimmable the sf1000d is not. Lights are 18” at the moment

Review this model or help me create a DIY COB plus IR plus UVB grow light.
I've very limited variety of lights in this country so this is all I can find. Also there are no suppliers who provide spectrum charts or any temperature values for those lights. My goal is to make it with the best possible light spectrum. Having IR's also will help on cold days.

Opinions on progress
So this is my first solo grow in a completely new setup (previously only grown in collaboration with a friend). Started off with a cheap blurple light. Very slow start then upgraded to a mars hydro TS1000 2 weeks prior to flowering. Topped at 35 days How is she looking?

Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 1500W immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!
