Will this be enough power for my babies

So I got a 320w kingbright, and a 600w kingled (the kingled is actual watt of probably 100). I already have plants in my tent, but im thinking of moving some of the veggies out. Two of my pot plants will be done by next Sunday as well. I cant lower the lights because of my other plants as well. I can lower lights at 2 weeks in

You can't lower the lights but you can raise the veggies...put them on 5gal buckets or a tote or a small table or ??

Ok, ya I will have to try that. I just got so many plants at this point . Im on a tight schedule. This will be my last grow until I get done vacationing, so need to be done by June. These are autos, so its doable. I just am scared they won't get enough light and become really stretched. I will have to experiment. Like I said, they got one week until they can get out under direct light, and then another week until they got that 320w kingbright all to themselves.

The manufacturer of the light should provide a so called PPFD map. PPFD is another term for light intensity. During flowering you want to aim for 600-900 PPFD. Check with the manufacturer at what distance the lamps produce this intense light. It's impossible to speculate what distance is right for you without knowing how the emitted light from the lamps is distributed.
Generally speaking, the distance should be around 12-18" for LED lamps of this wattage but again, this is guesswork. Talk to the seller or brand you bought the lamps from.

I know they did well at around 32 inches away, but that was wit them right under the light
