Can I bring my led as close as possible to get 50-70k lux

I have a fairly low power led . It's only 100watts .

But about 2 inches from the canopy it's 77k lux

As this is a fairly low power light can I bring it as close a possible to the canopy and not experience any negatives

Read up on daily light integral. Plants need adequate light, light bleaching is very prevalent on this forum. Running low light distance with high intensity LED's panel won't work.

Numbers given by manufacturers are ridiculous and will give a novice grower all the problems because they follow them like clockwork.

More LUX is not better. The plant need different light requirements throughout it's life cycle.

Come back RB!

Slow yellowish growth under vero 29 3000k/3500k

https://imgur.com/a/uLLbG Updated pics, lights on and off with camera flash. Turned down the lights to 200 watts total and they are 22" above the canopy... I wanna say the clone looks slightly better (back right) but the one on the back left is still pretty light colored with some curling...

He was on the other site but hasn't logged in for almost a year. He sure is missed, a good guy and a walking encyclopedia of lighting tech.
