So I'm in week 2-3 of flowering and yellow spots and brown/white tips of leaves with drooping. Looks so sad but don't want them to die so can anyone help and tell me what's what? I water them every 2/3 days or so. I do the knuckle test in the soil to tell the dryness and am using 600 watt LEDs 9 band spectrum I believe (galaxy lights)
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

If you have a cheap 600 watt led you are probably only using around a 100 actual watts which won't even support a grown plant let alone multiple
The reason it worked thus far was smaller plant and less need for more light
Anytime you are buying a light if the manufacturer is hiding true wattage there is a reason

I am a newbie but I have learned that a good wet/dry cycle is crucial. Try to find a pot that’s the same size and put dry soil in it. Pickup the dry soil pot and see how much it weighs then pick up the plant. If the plant is heavier than the dry pot, not time to water yet. If the plant is as light or lighter than the dry pot, time to water.

So 1200 watts isn't enough for plants then?????

If you're quoting actual power draw, then it would literally fry a plant.
If you're referring to the 'theoretical max power each chip can absorb before they go poof' wattage that the fixture you are using, who knows...
When shopping Amazon leds, look for ACTUAL power consumption in watts.
That's the ONLY thing you can use to estimate if you have 'enough light'.
Simple metric:
HID(hps, mh,cmh) and old-tech 'blurple' leds-50 watts/ sq ft of canopy.
Current-tech leds(QB, cobs, light strips)-30 watts/ sq ft.
