I couldn't find the PPFD charts but found this:
As a guide, Mars Hydro suggests: The ideal PPFD for the seedling stage is 100-200 µMol/m2/S
200-500 µMol/m2/S for the vegetative stage
and 500-600 µMol/m2/S for the flowering and fruiting stage.

Sorry to bother on this,there has been progress but was wondering when to use full spectrum?I couldn't find the PPFD charts but found this:

Everything you need to know click here
It taught me a fair bit, and I thought I knew it all.
Don't beat yourself up. Lots of information here. Many users have lengthy grow journals to look at, and see issues and results.

Your light doesn't put out a lot of light so you need to get it very close to the top of the plant. The manufacturer says that the light will generate a PPFD of 430 µmols but, generally speaking, you want to get at least 500µmols on your plants, up to the "light saturation point" of 800 to 1000µmols. You're not going to get to light saturation but you can try to get as much light to your plants.
One option is to get another light. Check out prices for an entry level light for a 2' x 2' and, if they're within your budget, you would be well server to upgrade to a new light.
If you keep the light that you've got, try lowering the light to about 12" - that's where the manufacturer says it will generate 430µmols. Your plant should be able to tolerate that without showing any signs of light stress (leaves turning on their horizontal axis or tacoing/canoeing).

My concern on that was the red stems but wasn't sure, but yes the manufacturer said 11.8 inches away.but there where so many opinions on that......

Opinions on the red stems? It's not uncommon, from what I've seen, and in some cases it indicates an that there is a nutrient issue. I've not really read up on it, to be frank.
Re. light levels - 430 very little light for growing cannabis. If you don't increase the amount of light your plants receive you should expect a low yield from a relatively tall plant with large internodal space and small airy buds. It really is that simple.
Are the stems red or purple? I can’t tell from the image.. Also if you can take a bit clearer top down image of the leaves if possible.. deficiency, stress, environment and/or genetics can play a role.

Hello @Oldogg302 
I use similar grow lamps and leave it on blue/white for veg but raise it so it is always 30cm from tops
Problem is, the plant tries to grow inwards towards the light in the middle
That is why I bought a second light and the two work perfectly together on any color combo
