I had a 100w from atshark it did fine but I seen a 300wer on Amazon last night and bought it without hesitant because it was getting good reviews and I had the money after bills so I said fuk it then I wake up this morning it was on my porch. Lol God damn no time for buyers remorse. I have it hanging 15 inch above the month old trees

That lights biggest drawback is those fans put off heat so now you need another fan to dissipate the heat from the fans

You can download a light meter on your phone. Not perfect but good rough estimate.

You are likely going to have an issue with those plants when you go to up pot.
I see some have 2, 3+ plants per solo cup.

Yeah that's too close for those seedlings. That Atshark is a switchable 50w/100w light depending on if you're running veg, flower, or veg + flower.
I'm just starting another round here under my 65w board. It's about 24" above the tops of the cups. They'll be moved under the 100w roughly when they develop their first real leaves and a couple nodes.

mostly yes, but I do see a fair bit of curling on leaf edges, which can be a sign of heat stress
