It sorta the dark secret of led. Lots of commercial grows have failed cause they didn't know how to use them properly.

HPS and CMH. You can use a lux meter. To measure intensity.

Led u usually need to use a more expensive par meter for to get accurate intensity readings.

I personally like led myself. But u sorta need to understand how they work. Cause u can easily burn your plants. If don't know how much lux or par a plant can take at each stage of growth.

This ^^^^^^
The intensity also fades, very fast at a distance. Vertical space, is very limited with led's.
Light is all about, a grower's needs.
Thats why i use HID. Its great for vertical space.
Ive found LED only very effective, for the first foot, or two.
I love Christmas trees. I cant get this with LED's

So how many pars for beginning of 6 weeks into flower? Running about 586 pars at 10in above canopy right now. Is that to much or not enough?

Its not so much the age, of your plants. Its how large they are, and how much foliage they have.
Its all photosynthesis dude.
Plants 101.
You have to judge these things yourself. You have to read the environment yourself, and take note of things. Watch how the plants react to things, and changes.
I have never used a lux, or par metre. Quite frankly, you dont need one.
Even outside. If you know where the sun rises, then sets, you're fine.

Honestly I use cobs. So I use lux meter. What u do. Raise the lights up and start lowering an inch every few days. And check them after 3hrs. See how the plant responds. Plants gonna tell u. Top leaves will start. This also aclimiize plants to led.

I usually use HPS veg. Then go led in grow.

If your plants don't like it you'll see just raise the lights. They'll start to curl.

But usually 6 weeks if u do it right they got strong roots. I am pounding those sucker with light 70k lux. Sorta strain dependent too.

So I think best advice. Start high gradually Lower led. See how hey react.

And log it. You'll get It just check it after 3 hrs after u lower it.

Also like I said par meter the only accurate ones are like expensive ones. That the issue.

Mine sorta hydro setup sucker just grow crazy. Regardless. Depends on medium.

To early to flush, I would guess based on the trichs look in your last picture you have atleast 10 days before starting to see any amber at all
