If you have LED light, you definately should increase the light level to 400 ppfd! 150 is much to low.

150μmol/m².s is very low to me. You can start increasing gradually to reach 400μmol/m².s

Looking at your pics I'd say the light height is decent where your at.

What are you checking with? How does the plant look? What's the light manufacturers recommendation?

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away
