Seedling - grow light

Hi!

I’ve got an OG Kush seedling that just sprouted. Got my tent cleaned and the seedling placed inside a 2x2x~6 tent. Got a VIVOSUN 100w light (two in tent but only using one for seedling).
Seedling setting
25% power
Lux is 6400
But distance to light a bit more than 24”. If my lux is dialed in, do I need to be concerned about distance from/to light as much?
I’m growing, consuming, growing. This is only my 3rd grow
Thanks!

25% of one 100 watt light ? Thats 25 watts. I’d be giving that at least 150.

I start my sprouts under a old T5 fixture that’s 216watts

But if my light meter is giving me an optimal light output in the seedling range, why does it matter? Guess that’s what I’m curious about

Your roughly around 100ppfd with your 6400 lux :green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

LIGHT INTENSITY REQUIREMENTS
Seedlings, Clones Under 100 PPFD

I also have Vivoson, forget about the distance and allow that to be determined by the measurement of DLI or PPFD
