Need some advice

It was actually at close to 600 in the back corner where the plant was. Backed the light off and picked it up to about 3.5- 4’ away It seems to be feeling a little better. Defoliated the burnt leaves, idk if that was a good idea but we’re gonna see haha

Not to mention 600 isn’t really “way too” intense either. I mean maybe it is for blueberry ? Either way I backed them lights down and have seen a bit of improvement.

It's way too intense for that age of a plant and if the plant is telling you, nay, yelling at you to turn that shit down! It's probably way too intense for it.

I use a spider farmer se5000. The first gen. upgraded with the uv and ir diodes (They've since removed the uv and ir diodes from the fixture). I have to keep mine at 24", at about 40%, or I start having problems. Funny thing is, they claim 8-12", at less than 82°f, in late veg. Anyways, turning down the light, always seems to help.

Which light do you have? 4' seems kinda high. I would lower the fixture, and dim it down, if possible.

spider farmer 650W. Man honestly, I’ve checked the PAR, and it’s sitting at about 450, so I’m gonna keep her where she’s seated haha. I appreciate the input for sure, but I’m thinking the hotspot on my light was the issue. It was sitting at over 600 on that plant alone, and surprise, it was the only plant showing any issues. I defoliated some leaves and it’s looking a lot better. I’ll try and post a pic
