Ok great, there's a lot of mixed info out there or even lack of info on the HLG 550's. I started mine at the lowest intensity setting which I believe is 50%.

I received clones that had some accidental nutrient burns from my friend, so really trying to mitigate the stress in my setup.

Another friend convinced me to use AN's Connoisseur line. Also a ton of conflicting info on Cal-Mag with the pH perfect nutes. So much to learn, it can be overwhelming, but i love it!
Get a light meter, read attached, especially page 16:

Hey @fonsy, I’m glad it was able to help.
Thank you for taking the time to read everything. No, I thought it would be too much light so I turned it down until flower. I don’t know how much I just played it by sight.
I’m still trying to figure out how to avoid Cal-mag decencies and a few other minor issues. I started a thread hoping questions and answers would be posted but nothing yet. Maybe I’ll attempt to bump it or something.

I'm confused by this comment. There is plenty of evidence on the web demonstrating that the HLG 550 is an excellent choice.

It’s something about these lights that makes the plant need more calcium & magnesium. After speaking with someone from AN , I knew I’d have to switch because it’s not delivering the needed amount in time. I don’t think that’s going to help it’s something I’ll have to figure out as I become more familiar with the light.

Yep, common high intensity light issue.

Use all the tools in your kit: 6.1-6.2 ph for max cal-mag availability...
