Got some strange lightning issues

Ok so I have 2 spider 200w leds at 100 percent power in my 5x5 tent. I have a Flux meter that is reading around 600 x100. I have taken the same reading outside and sun produces around the same.

What's strange is I have been reading your plants can essentially get as much light as you can give as long as heat is minimized. Because I'm growing with leds my heat is almost non existent and I have my lights around 23 inches above canopy.

I am still getting burnt and crispy leaves on my white widow bit only on the leaves at the top and directly under light. With the Alaskan purple I see several leaves cupping and pointed upward. The temps in the tent are around 65 - 75 degrees and humidity sits around 50 to 65 percent. Please help!!!

The darker one is the ww

That's the thing... there is no switch I keep them in 24/7.

I do this because figured why not if autos don't need the 12 12 to flower and I also have a photo plant next to them that is still in veg so can't switch to 12 12 even if I wanted to.

This is something I was thinking about tho. Does having the lights on too much cause the plant to stress in some way?

Just seems the leaves are too crispy for my liking. They crumble to dust if you roll them in your fingers... again the only leaves like that are under direct intense light... all the leaves to the side and below are all nice and green

Let me know if additional pics may help

Whatever your doing keep doing it. It's the natural process of the plant to yellow and get crispy when your that far along. Don't worry

Yeah there's nothing wrong with your plants; some of the nicest autos I've seen in a while. 24 hours of LEDs worked real well didn't it....
