Using higher ppfd in veg while supplementing co2?

Title says it all what ppfd range should I be looking for when supplementing co2 in veg? 400-600 is usually the guideline for the veg stage but what if supplementing co2? Should I be aiming for over 1000 ppfd like when I’m flowering or should I just bump up light intensity to like 600-1000ppfd? I can’t find any information on this subject anywhere someone please help me out! Pic for the hell of it oF my OG KUSH. Happy farming!EE3E24BD-BFD2-443D-84EA-B2F3DD8D5FF1.jpeg

You really need to let the plants tell you how much they can take, no RIU thread can make them take more than they're able to take.
Remember you need to increase heat with increasing intensity, especially with CO2 as the CO2 will close the stomata: less transpiration and drinking.
Those plants you show does not look ready for 18 hours of 1000ppfd. Little by little push them harder.

Yes yes ofcourse but I still like to have guidelines to go by. Just like when I set up my Mars hydro FC-E3000 I wanna see the par maps and look up other content creators test results so I can know about how far from the canopy tp hang my LED. So this is the same thing I just need some sort of outline on what kinds of ppfd plants can take I’m veg will being supplemented with co2. I’m ofcourse monitoring my plants and watching for signs of stress but so far so good!
