New Grower Would anyone know if this is normal ? And is my lighting ok ?

My girl is entering week 7 .. She was planted in 50% organic potting soil & 50% vermiculite . When I planted her the soil level (amount of medium in the pot) was up about 2.5 -3 inches more than where it sits now ...I will attach a picture ... The soil was up to the point where the pot just starts to flare outward but now it sunk ...is this normal & ok ? (I know she's got a few deficiencies that I'm working on at the present moment by using the advice from a thread I posted a few days back so no need for anyone to point them out in this thread ! Ty ! Lol ) Also I have a question about my lighting .... Does my placement look ok and is there enough or too much ? All opinions and advice are greatfully welcomed and appreciated ! Tyvm in advance ! There is 3 x 150 w equivalents up top and 7 x 100 watt equivalents all around (see attached pic ) two of the 100 watts are 6500k and the rest are 2700k . Should I swap out the 2 6500 k's for 2 2700 k's ?? Ty again ! One Love ! :smoke::smoke::smoke:

First off you should have used perlite instead of vermiculite because verm holds too much moixture.It is normal for soil to settle like that and you can add more soil but at this point it might be too late with your plant but it will be ok.Your lights seem fine so just leave them.
