Ur light manufacturer should have a diagram of PAR recommendations for ur specific light. The PAR diagram will likely be a pic of a plant under the light, with the sweet spot in the middle and recommended measurements above and below that. PAR meters are fricken expensive! We buy em with the THC home testing kits, right?!
Turn ur big girl pot upside down to put ur drip tray and seed cell on top of it, so the light level doesn’t change when u transplant.
A lot of people use S-hooks to hang their light, so they can just remove an even number at a time instead of messing with cords over top their plants. They can get a bit pricy, but ya pay for convenience.
