Question about upgrading my LED light

I have a Durban Poison (photo) in week 5 of flower. It's currently in a 2x2x4 tent with a Spider Farmer SE1000 light. I under estimated the flower stretch on this one and it's now about 4 inches from the light. I've decided now's a great time to upgrade my tent and light so I have a 3x3x6 tent and SE3000 on the way. My question is, when I get this set up and move the plant into the new tent, how much power should I give the light? I don't want to give it all this new headspace and light distance to just melt it with a 300w light. Thanks!

i’d start with 50% and increase 5% everyday or every other day just to avoid stress but thats just me
 
I would install a ppfd app on your phone. They're not always accurate but it should allow you to calibrate the levels. Take a few readings now at the highest buds. Then with the new tent filled, mess around until you get those same levels.
