Nice light! It’s hard to say but those have nice distribution and don’t have hot spots in the middle like the quantum board style ones do. Id personally run at 50% at 24”/60cm and observe the next few days. You could probably get it up to 75% once you have a few nodes.
Look for stretching, as that means they aren’t getting sufficient light
Like I touched on earlier, those have great distribution of light so you should be fine whatever you do chose to do.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
