Ok, I won’t remove any fans. Thank you
Did my humidity increase because the plant grew ?

Hey Star Dog, I’ve seen videos where they say during Veg your light should be “X“ distance from your plant, But during bloom they always suggest a closer distance, is a closer distance necessary during bloom?
I ask this question because, even the manual to my grow light suggest 20”-24” during bloom, but if I even move the light as close as 32” it’s starts to bleach the leaves towards the center of the plant.
Hey, I have another question I was hoping you could answer:

I can't advise you on that, I'm new to led I also bleached my foliage with my one so I'm using T5s atm.

It’s quite necessary. During veg, the plant doesn’t require as high of light intensity as it does during flower, which is the reason the light distance needs to be closer. You want tight bud sites, not long stems with bud sites far apart. The farther away the light, the more the plant reaches for it. The closer the light, the more compact the plant will be.
So during flower but the light as close as possible without burning the leaves In the middle ?
what if the leaves are bending away from the light in middle directly under the light, is that bad for bud development?

Do you have any pictures to support the description?

Also, considering the vertically challenged tent size, and type of light you have, you may not have much of an option in terms of hanging distance. It would take some pretty good LST and canopy control under the trellis to force the plant to want to grow horizontally vs vertically. During the first 2-3 weeks of the flowering phase, the plant tends to go through a final stretch before all vertical growth is halted. This can be challenging in a 2.5ft tent. LST, HST and supercropping are a few options you have at your disposal to control vertical growth.
I increased the volume of watering and it appears to handle the Light intensity better.
Stalling having heat issues with the light on.
Hey, would the extraction system remove heat better I if lowered the carbon filter to where its next to the light, to intake the hot air to to be extracted?

I meant... still having heat issues with the light on.

Firstly, where do you have your probe hanging? Second, how many watts is your light drawing from the wall. And lastly, how hot is the room the tent is in? The inside of your tent can only be as cool as the room it’s in if you’re drawing air from the room. In essence all you’re doing is recycling air.
The temp/humidity probe is off to the side, at the same height/distance as the buds sites are from the light.
light is a 600w led that really draws 260 watts
