Your grow time line sounds like mine, I have to shut down for the hot months as well because I run a 600 watt HID/HPS pending on veg or flower, I like the LEDs, I now have 2 Viparspectra 450 watt, but still stuck on HID. Definitely cheaper to replace. My issue with LED, may just be the brand im using, I notice a definite reduction in light output after a couple grow cycles. Love following your grows. Look forward to seeing huge buds and lush vegg!
