my light is 5k with 660s, saw yours were 3500k only reason l got light l did was guy at grow shop couldnt grow with it. Mind a learning curve. I liked a mh hps mix and found mh alone was somewhat similar to leds, very white light l find but plants flowering well. I kèep lights close as well. 12 inches and closer. Your running a few more watts per than l but if had more to give l would.

I stay below 3700K as I get stretch above it. And I fill my buds with food to compensate.

Longest day of season at my lattitude is 15hrs 40mins approx. So a veg of 16-8 should suffice if DLI is met.
The acronyms again. LOL. My sun dial indicates "light intensity" by length of its shadow. The longer the shadow. The longer light you need. A tent and lights change the whole equation. A couple hours or a day of watching your leaves will tell you when you find the sweetspot thing. Math does not work in application. LOL.

I have a watering probe I normally wait to water when it reads dry and it's 4" into soil. And normally takes about a gallon and a gallon and a half and I have about 10 percent runoff.
Learn to tell by pot weight. More accurate and less work beyond the lift. LOL.

Hahah. Are these good chems I use? And I use fox farm.oceans Forrest soil. Has chems for first 30 days as seedling. Then I use those nutes with mammoth P.
Honestly not for me. And not tried here. FF I did. If north of Lansing tap water is best best or well. Check your PH and PPM and you should be good.
