I have 2w diodes about 7" from my canopy, right around 2,000 par. Haven't had any heat stress or foxtails.

Cheapie Amazon "360w" (80w) actual ufo's. I used them like 8yr ago and they burned my seedlings, so I knew they were beefy. I found them on eBay and Amazon for $16-$27 bucks and have 8 now.
They are only about 1,000 par at 14" IIRC. I don't have a meter, but my buddy has a nice apogee meter meant for Led's and coral that we used.
No idea what the spectrum is like. I notice my leaf development is slow with them, but my buds are super dense.... Also the ppfd drops off pretty bad after ~12-14" . I learned to grow with floros, so these lights don't bother me. I only use them because I grow in a wardrobe.
An example of them: I paid $20 average though. I'm aware they are ghetto.... I guess they are 10w diodes running at ~2w

I found led easier to veg with, different flowering.
Getting too close in flower can do bud damage and it will really set them back, need a few grows to get it dialed in.

18” - 20” is my standard between 50-75% power for veg. 100% at first sign of flowers maintaining 18”.

I grew 2 autos under an sf1000 + an sf2000 in a 2x4, and pulled 313g dried. Buds are nice and dense. The kinda that sound like a golf ball hitting the rolling tray when you drop it.

I think you are close enough now. are they turned up ? Im a hps guy and the main thing my friend pounded into my head is to keep the lights high on them boards until you get used to um. When you get it too bright , the praying leaves we are used to , go flat and ugly while the plant still looks good overall. Thats the first sign of "too much light"
