My two led lights are about 4-7 inches from the top of my plants in late flowering(week 8) I have them both turned up 100%. should I dial back on the settings or do you think I will be fine I just don’t want to start any foxtailing or heat stress due to the light being so close I can’t move the lights any higher..My plants stretched way more than I thought during the early flowering stage

Maybe. Use and IR gun to help with your upper leaf surface temps. Ambient temps also high?

Lowest I can get in temperature is around 82 highest is 86 with the lights on

it’s in a walk in closet I have 3 fans circulating air
And even when I turn the air conditioning on it seems it doesn’t reach my closet to cool it down enough that’s the worse part lucky I have a water cooler atleast keeping my root temperatures at 60 but as for the room temperature not so good

I just turned the lights down to 50% I have about two weeks left so would that effect anything?
