Alberta, Canada here as well! So, howdy!
My first build was an easy samsung f-series. 12 strips 3 of each the 3000k, 3500k, 4000k and 5000k using two HLG-185H-C1400B. 6s0p per driver.
I used it for my first grow with great success and I will tell you, take baby steps. I was overthinking the hell out of my setups.
I veged with the 4000 and 5000 temp lights and then added the other six strips when the time was right for flower. Despite all the bro science out there, with nothing but white light f-series strips, my buds still came out dense and frosty.
There is science out there that will explain the benefits to having additional UV/Far Red/Photored/infrared spectrums in your light, but I would argue these are augmentative and are not essential to getting your girls to grow and producing quality bud.
If I were you, right now, for a 4x4, a quality seed to harvest build IMO (and my second build) was using 14 two foot Bridgelux EB Gen2's 3500k in 7s2p on another HLG-185H-C1400B. Very cheap for great coverage and light output, plus cool to run when on a heatsink (which I just use aluminum flat bar). I mixed mine in with the Samsung F-series 3000 and 3500k. Perhaps scaling it so that you can use the Bridgelux EB's all the way which are cheap as hell to get the wattage per foot you need would be the way to go. You could also grab a mix of 3500k and 5000k if your really wanted to mess around with spectrum.
Heh... Sorry, I probably added to your confusion... There are rabbit holes everywhere around here.
