Amare Solar Eclipse 450 uvb vs. timber framework

I already have the amare but seem to have problems with every plant I put under it. I was thinking about selling it and going for another timber framework.

I would probably go for one of there square 400w kits or something around $600 in price.

Does this seem like a smart decision or am I just having a user issue with the amare. Every seedling I put under it starts to shrivel up and when vegging plants under it they start to turn yellow, claw, etc but as soon as I put it back under the timber or my lush lighting light they seem to quickly go back to looking healthy. I don't know what the problem is anyone else have good or bad experiences with amare?

Pull the UVB bulb?

I never use the uvb so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't even have uvb part plugged in.

What's the distance to the canopy with the Amare? Maybe pull the lenses off if possible or rise the light up to 24-30" above the plants. Many Amare units needs lots of distance to work properly. There is a Amare thread I believe from @Hybridway He knows a lot about Amare LED's.

Is it too late to return it?

I never used mine on seedlings before.
My Buddy switches out the UVB bulb for that.
When I did veg w/ them I liked the way the monos vegged my smaller plants. When they got bigger n needed more light, I turned off the monos & ran just the cobs.
Are you possibly to close w/ or w/o the lenses?

I'm using both the cobs and the enhanced spectrum during veg. Should I shut the cobs off for veg?

Just sounds like your unit is too close

Young plants don't react well to that much light. Start low powered n work your way up. Unless they're about 1 month old run just the monos unless you're in a hurry n give em what they can handle. They're there to veg too & are actually a vegetive spectrum. Then just the cobs if you're growing big veg plants. Then full blast for flower.
Should be able to raise the light n use the monos for seedling to.
Hope this helps. Lmk!
