Is there such a thing as too much quantum?

I've upgraded my 4x2 flowering tents lighting set up!
I'm now covering it with 4x QB 288 boards with a dimmer switch, according too my meter when turned up full it's pulling 550w.

So that would give me 68w per square foot.

Is this advisable? I know the recommended amount is around 35wpsf

I'm debuting this set up with my favourite strain, cream manderine f1 fast version. Meanwhile in the small veg cupboard (1.5'×2.5') I'll be sticking two "think big" autos with a QB 288 to each plant

I'm hoping to be able to keep on top of a diary with these grows, I started a diary before with an auto ultimate but let's not talk about that haha!

There’s is a point where there’s too much light regardless of the type used.68 watts a sqft is fine.
