I have cutting edge grow, micro, bloom, mag-amp, plant amp, uncle johns blend, and sugaree. I guess that during the veg I was supposed to use the grow, micro, and bloom but this whole time I forgot the bloom. Also the guy said that uncle johns is for like the 2nd week of flower or something like that and I have been using it this whole time with the micro, grow, mag-amp and plant amp

DUDE!!.... you don't need to water twice a day.......only water when they need it, you gotta learn the weight of your pot when its wet and when its dry......i wait until i see the droop in the leaves tellin me they want some water.....you can overwater and kill em....twice a day is way too much....if your using non organic nutes you need to flush once in a while to get rid of the salt buildup and prevent nute lockout

all hydro set ups are prone to that...two times a day is quite modest i can assure you

is okay, no harm done...
i donno bout the lights...you can end up giving to much light
20 to 40 watts a square foot seems to be the most common i've seen, so a 400watt should be able to handle 16 square feet at least

From my experience the plants will always tell you what they need....unfortunately I grow in soil....so my hydro knowledge is limited and I don't wanna lead you in the wrong direction...there are some hydro guru's on here, you should take a look at some of the hydro groups and post in there if you aren't gettin an answer......wish I could be more help!

Trust me it's pretty obvious....you can really tell when they are healthy......when they want water the leaves start to droop.....you can see that they are dehydrated......over time you will be able to read this from your plant......any discolorations mean something.....growing in hydro you have way more control of what your plant is getting.....its hard to see in your pics cause of the glare and blurryness.....but they look pretty good to me.....one trap I fell in was to overthink it.....after all it is a weed and you really have to fuck em up to fuck em up.....I burnt my plant to shit....by accident....and all the leaves were toast....all happened overnight.....and i was able to bring it back and flower it with great results.....so if what your doing is working and you don't see the plants suffering then just keep doing what your doing....
