You may be slightly underpowered, but it should work well enough. The lm561c is an older diode, so I hope the price was right.

Looks like it will suffice 630w/25sq ft is 26 w / sq foot

ideally you want 30w/sq ft

I personally would add 100 watts of more light then add some red and blue supplements in there

There's nothing wrong with 561C diodes. usually the price is right because of that mentality about them. The 301 isnt THAT much more efficient.

I feel better about the light. I have noticed a great improvement with it

Be careful if this is your first time with LEDs

you can easily give the plants too much light when they’re young and need to add extra cal-mag than normal

Is your light dimmed some right now?
Do you have a way to check your lights's wattage output at various dimming levels? Also a lux meter will be your friend if you haven't met yet.

Also what is your room/tent temperature and humidity? Are you fighting hot temps?
