Hi.

I made a new setup with Yescom 225 blue and white leds that are currently about 5 feet above my plants.

Normally (under cfl lights) it takes about 3 to 4 weeks until I can go flower.

This time, it’s been 15 days and they are still at their early stages.

Should I lower the lights? Get stronger lights, etc. to put the whole process on more familiar time table. I don’t have 2 months to veggie.

Thank you.

Well for starters it says to keep them within 1 2/3 feet from the plants. Second thing is that they look like really cheap things that belong in the trash. I couldn't find anything stating its par values only its

I wasn’t going for the most expensive lights. Something comparable to T5

Do I need to add more and lower them?

Yes, I would say lower them. Unfortunately those most likely do not have high Par, What you see as an intensity light is just to the human eye.
As for most LED's you don't want it more than 18inch away from the top of the canopy.

I hope this helps

Also: I see the t5 in the picture honestly in my opinion you are better off using that.

OK, everything looks good.
If you feel comfortable I would say drop RH just by two (68) to have a more in the middle VPD for RH.
