What size is your tent and how many plants? Your plants should have been under 100% from the start of 3rd week to be honest.

At three weeks, I move all plants to a flowering area of cobs and a mh ts1000...all on 100% AT 18-20".

any time you increase the light intensity, you need to ease the plants into it. Just because someone else has their plants closer to the same lights doesn't mean you can stick yours at that height and not burn your plants. You can put your lights at 100%, but raise them up, then gradually lower them down each day, letting your plants adjust.

The shock could have been from something else. What are your temps and could you post pictures of your setup?

Temp about 73, iv just gone from soil to coco so had few niggles, they didnt like the 100% straight away and prob about 16” so i imagine it was to low hanging.. also i flushed them as the ec was high run off maybe i tranferred to soon with not enough roots.

Plants looking pretty good buddy. If I was you, I would dim to 100% and start at 26inches and slowly shorten the distance. Happy growing!
