What light percentage should I put my light at?

[Atriax]

I have this 150w grow light and I've currently set it to the 12-12 cycle to begin the flowering stage. I notice that the taller plants leaves and colas that are closer to the light are getting burned. I can't train them to be any lower. However I can adjust the intensity of the lights output pictured below. What should I set it to?

Try and reduce the light burn by lifting the light. This will give it a more even spread normally.
Look up supercropping. What training have you done to date?
A photo of your plant would be more helpful than a screenshot of your lights mobile app.

I have raised my light as high as it can go, and I have supercropped my plants so adjusting the lights intensity is seemingly the last thing I can do

You need to train your plants more using a combination of topping and LST.
Your only option now is to supercrop.
Research those in conjunction with SCROG and SOG.
Check your temps too.
Edit. I think I can see where you have worked the stem but you need to pull it over about 90⁰ and hold it there so the canopy is all the same height.

I forgot to mention.
In the 1st pic at the bottom what are the white patches on the leaf?

its condensation, its reflecting the light above it

You can put something under the shorter plants to raise them so all are at the same height. But 150 watt light is typically marginal to inadequate for more than one photoperiod plant. What's the distance between them?

Theyre all right next to each other

So what if there next to each other man. All these problems are caused because of inexperience the old " cart before the horse " folks are giving you ideas from personal experience and trying to help you complete a wild grow. When you supercrop bend the branch over to 90 degrees, period. Yes it will flop, yes the tissues crack but tape heals an a knuckle will form. And the light is only gonna prolong the grow. Not enough PAR.

Actually I meant what is the distance between the tops of the plants and your lights

 

[Bluey]

It looked to be about 6" to the top pre flowers, it wasn't much. Stressed.

I do see the edge of the light now. I can do the math but have no experience growing with a light that low. Maybe it can be done; I know people are resourceful. I would use this as an excuse to buy a bigger tent or move the grow to a closet.

THE smaller plants have about 19 inches from the grow light. The larger plant is overgrown and im currently training to move horizontally. Might FIM these plants too. With the smaller plants. Ones an autoflower, and the other is stunted because it originally started in a 3 gallon pot and I think I transferred it too late.

So here's the thing. The grow light is as high as it will get with the air filter there. The tent is 2x2x4. Unfortunately with between my states laws which say its fine to grow but it has to be discreet and out of the way, meaning not outside or out in the open, and my landlord. I'm confined to my crawlspace. Unless there's a 2x2x8 tent somewhere its going to be hard to get a bigger tent that I can easily access in that crawlspace. I'll figure something out, probably just getting good and training, and Scrogging.

Neither the fan nor the filter need to be in the tent. Just the hose and that only needs to stick in enough to be secure. Put the filter on the exhaust side of the fan, both outside the tent.

Thanks for the tip! All the diagrams I found had me putting the filter inside. I redid the whole thing and now I have way more space to the point where my issues are solved! Thanks!!
